Cheapest Boroughs in London to Buy Petrol

The cheapest borough to buy petrol is Croydon, Merton and Sutton all of South London at a price of just 150.7 per litre. Sutton is also the cheapest borough to buy Diesel at just 167.9 per litre followed by multiple boroughs offering a price of just 168.7 including Greenwich, Islington, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark.

The most expensive borough for petrol in London is Westminster at a shocking 172.9 per litre followed by Wandsworth in the south-west (165.9) then Waltham Forest in the north-east (162.9). Perhaps unsurprisingly, Westminster is also the most expensive place for Diesel by some distance (177.9), closely followed by Waltham Forest (175.9) and then Wandsworth (173.9).

So there’s clearly a divide here between cheaper fuel available in South London and the most expensive area being infamously rich Westminster in the West.
