Finchley

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 157p per litre right now. A few outlying forecourts price well above the typical local level, so the average is a better guide here than the extremes.

The supermarket sites, including Asda and Tesco, tend to set the floor for prices here. 6 of the 65 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

Valero around Texaco Garage has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Forecourts on Forty Lane and White Hart Lane carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Average unleaded here tracks the wider Greater London figure closely. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 184p per litre locally.

Everything within about 8 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts. The cheapest station in Finchley is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
