My apologies for a slow response/thank you.
Yes Hinchley Wood filling station and the site is still in use.
It was rebuilt maybe 10+ years ago and then again about 3 years ago
A total blitz of the site, all tanks dug out and replaced etc.
It now has a mini Waitrose ( what else would do in Esher?) and some EV charging bays.
Birds eye view

Across the A309 are the two blocks of flats built on the pub site
The pub is famous for the RAM ( Residents Against Macdonalds ) occupation

And Gorbachev had lunch there in 1997
The cross roads are a source of accidents as red light jumping on the A309 is routine.
The slowish climb up when crossing the A309 is what saves many prangs.
Will EVs up the risk with their ability off the start.
Meanwhile a reminder.

I think this is at the cross roads looking towards Hook /London
