Trivia and Design[edit]
Full details: History:London Gateway
It is one of very few services to offer cheaper short stay parking, as it tries to establish itself as a part of a day trip to London.
The services has a strange knot of sliproads at its entrance, owing to its unusual history, with sharp bends which can take an unprepared motorist by surprise.
