Where can I get fuel in London? Petrol stations near me that have unleaded and diesel amid UK shortage

Petrol stations across London are running out of fuel, as people desperately try to fill out so they can go to work.

Carers, delivery drivers and plumbers have all reported that they have struggled to get to work due to fuel shortages.

And many petrol stations across the capital have been forced to put up “no fuel” signs as they have run out.

The issues have been caused by a shortage of HGV drivers to transport the fuel, which has been exacerbated by people panic buying.

In order to get Londoners to work, LondonWorld has listed all of the petrol stations we have confirmed have fuel below.

This list is liable to change as staff will update it throughout the day, so please keep checking it (this list was updated on Thursday October 7).

This is a fast moving situation so if you visit one of the petrol stations and it is on the wrong list, or your local petrol station isn’t listed, please email us at [email protected]

Many of these petrol stations have introduced a £30 or £35 limit on the amount of petrol that can be bought.

Why are petrol stations running out of fuel?

There is no shortage of petrol and thousands of forecourts are operating normally, according to the AA.

Motorists have been urged not to panic-buy fuel, after a number of petrol stations were forced to close because of a lack of HGV drivers.

Britain has a shortage of about 100,000 HGV drivers, Rod McKenzie of the Road Haulage Association told BBC Newsnight.

This is due to EU drivers moving back to the continent after Brexit, and HGV training being put on hold due to the pandemic.

The issue has been getting the petrol to the filling stations, and people panic buying fuel in large numbers.

BP said a “handful” of its filling stations had closed due to a lack of fuel, and Esso owner ExxonMobil also said a “small number” of its Tesco Alliance petrol forecourts had been impacted.

However some reports have put 90% of London’s stations without fuel.

The AA said similar delays over recent weeks had been managed “with hardly anyone noticing”.

Edmund King, the AA’s president, said: “Fridays and the weekend always tend to be busier on forecourts as drivers either combine filling up with shopping runs, prepare for weekend trips or refuel for the start of the new working week.

“Drivers should not fill up outside their normal routines because, even if the occasional petrol station is temporarily closed, others just down the road will be open.”

When will the fuel crisis end?

It’s difficult to say just when the current fuel issues will be ironed out.

Elizabeth de Jong, policy director at trade association Logistics UK, told BBC Breakfast consumers must stop panic-buying to ease the fuel crisis while the Government implements longer-term solutions to tackle HGV driver shortages.

She said: “We are seeing the impact of panic buying, we have been assured through the Petrol Retailers Association and we have been assured by some of the larger petrol companies in the country that there is enough fuel for everyone, but yet we have become very concerned and are buying and buying and have caused a very big problem.

“I represent and have been dealing with the Government over the general shortage of HGV drivers, we have got a number of announcements there about increased tests, funding of new visas, so there are issues in the industry and some of these will take a while to resolve, some of these can be resolved, so a lot is being done, but we really need to keep calm, just as we did through Covid with toilet rolls, for this not to continue.”
