London Gateway services is a motorway service station situated off Junction 3 of the M1 motorway, near London, England.

It opened in 1969, being run by Forte, and was previously called Scratchwood services. It is built on the site of a proposed junction 3 of the M1 that never was built, to join with the A1.

The service station is the target of the guns of the Second World War-era Royal Navy light cruiser HMS Belfast, permanently moored twelve miles away on the River Thames as a museum ship since 1971.
