Thurrock Services

Opened: 1990
Original owner: Granada
Current Owner: Moto
One site, located in unusual location accessible by both M25 and A13 between two roundabouts

Trivia:
When first opened, the main building was not complete so a temporary
restaurant and shop was provided in a very large portacabin.

First (and possibly still the only) site that has Accomodation within the main complex.

Built on slope, so you enter at the top across a “dry moat”. Once inside you can use the shops on that floor or decend the stairs to the toilets

Current:
This site currently has a 5 Star Loo of the year Award 2003 along with 33 others in the road transport category. (find best loos overall)

Thanks:
Thanks to Simon of Sabre for some the trivia on this page
