Cobham Services is a motorway service area under construction on the M25 motorway. It is planned to open in early 2012, and is to be operated by Extra MSA. Cobham's planned opening date was scheduled to be early 2010, but was changed to early 2012 following various planning issues. The services were constructed as there was concern with the large 104 km (65 mile) gap without any service areas. At either end of the 65 mile stretch of motorway was South Mimms services and Clacket Lane services, The Secretary of State explained there was a clear and compelling need for a further service area. Cobham will soon be the UK's largest service station, overtaking Beaconsfield services, the current largest.
