Very nearly suffered the same fine. 11 minutes charging I read other reviewers' experience that failure to check in your car reg on the touchscreen next to the checkout inside Londis within 15 minutes will result in a hefty fine, regardless of charging EV! It's a predatory, money grabbing exercise by the operators of this franchise.

Parking fine issued by Euro Car Parks, after we charged our EV at this station. We defy anyone arriving in the dark and the rain at a station they've never used before, to notice the signs about parking fines or needing to give your registration no to the cashier if you're charging.Don't bother contacting BP customer services or the company that owns the charger, they aren't interested.An appeal to Euro Car Parks showing them evidence of our payment for the charger resulted in our fine being cancelled...on this one occasion.

What a joke of a "services". I have been fined £100 for overstaying the woefully inadequate 15 minute stay.Parking restriction signage is poor and 15 minutes to fill up with fuel and sit down to eat is woefully inadequate!!Total rip off and clearly designed to fleece people out of money. Avoid!!!

I?ve been sent a very threatening fine letter of up to £100 for parking at this petrol station whilst I bought snacks from there for my hungry 6 year old and eating them in the car before setting off again. Absolutely despicable SCAM. Avoid!

Charged car at charging station (30mins) then received fine for over stay from Europarks. Appealed fine but not up held. Given the cost 79p per KW and the time you are allowed to charge would not recommend.

I was charged £20 for out of hours drop off of a rental car. The cashier refused to issue the receipt after the payment and they refer you to speak the rental company. The rental company says the charge has nothing to do with them as it's bp service. BIG SCAM!!!

I used the station to charge my electric hire car before returning it and just been notified that I am being fined for overstaying in the car park.My car was attached to the charging machine and we were sat in it whilst it was charging! There were no visible signs that said you had a limited amount of time to charge your vehicle or I would have gone else where as only charged it to 85%, not even the 100% marker!What an absolute joke, they want us to be environmentally friendly but charge you for charging the car!Not only do I now have the parking fine but also administration cost from the hire company!I would not recommend using this BP Garage to charge your car!!!!

I am joining the club of idiots who used this gas station. I was fined 100 pounds as well for 28 minutes. I got gas, used the washing station and then vacuum. Sorry that I used you services I guess I have to pay for it extra. To be quite honest I don't even know if there is a sign or why they can fine people.Absolutely ridiculous behaviour, avoid this gas station at all cost.

Visited 210/07/23 at around 9.30 am, reported it to a staff member. Please clean the toilet please, they are horrendous, no soap and you are serving food, you can smell these toilets before you enter, the toilet is filthy, and not cleaned regularly.The seat and toilet are absolute dirty. The whole toilet area needs a deep clean. Have to give a star as wouldn?t let me post, deserves no stars

Thankyou everyone for the warnings. I was going to go there early this morning because it was open 24/7. Forewarned is fore armed. Thank goodness I didn't want to stay long enough to put some charge into my EV.

Just ask yourself if you would want to fill up at a station where there is a perverse person on a mission to get cars fined for going into the station to use their service. I didn?t get a fine, I just avoid it like a plague and head to the others less than 10 mins away.

Been given a £100 fine for buying fuel and food, then using one of the car parking space in the garage to eat my food for less than 30 minutes. All before a long drive down south.Shocking to be punished this way, no signs were clear.

Been given a £100 ticket for buying a sandwich at the petrol station and sitting in car to eat it? Was 29 minutes and been sent fine from Euro Parking. Tried calling BP who told me I needed to call Auto. Called them who told me nothing they can do? Reviews show this is happening reg? I get you can?t park there for long periods of time due to being close to an airport but under 30mins while sitting in the car? Can?t quite believe it tbh. Shocking. Will be bring up with council.
