The filling station is on the corner of New Kent Road and Theobald Street. Unleaded and petrol and diesel were both advertised at 118.9 pence per litre, after a steep price rise in early 2010 (a year earlier it was around 90 pence). The filling station stands on the site of the former St Andrew's Church, Newington, which stood here from 1876-1956. The church hall remained but was demolished c 1980, following a fire.
