London Gateway Services is operated by Welcome Break, it's the first set of motorway services…read moreyou'll come across when heading on the M1 from London, or the last if you're going in the other direction.
PRO TIP: You might want to visit here for a toilet stop, as the next motorway service along the M1 is not for 26 miles until you reach Toddington, which can be a while in bad traffic.
The offering is pretty much what you'd expect from any Welcome Break and include Starbucks, WHSmith, Subway and Waitrose.
Despite being quite busy, as I visited on my way home after the FA Cup Final at Wembley, the services seemed to be well managed with outlets being kept open longer due to demand.
It is clean and easy to navigate, with a nice amount of seating, obviously, it is really overpriced for everything from food to coffee or even snacks/drinks for the road.
There are a small number of electric vehicle charging points, including fast charging available.
3* - Useful location, but pretty much an average motorway service station, nothing too special but will break the bank.
