A fuel filling station for dispensing fuel to vehicles, the filling station comprising: a fuel tank 112; one or more cradles 142 supporting the fuel tank; and one or more canopy members 160 for providing shelter to a user dispensing fuel from the fuel tank to a vehicle, each canopy member being connected to the one or more cradles such that the canopy member projects outwardly from the fuel tank in a cantilever arrangement. At its most general, the invention proposes a free standing fuel filling station in which the fuel tank is mounted above ground. One or more cradles support the fuel tank and one or more canopy members such that the canopy members are structurally supported by the weight of the fuel tank. Moreover, the filling station may be constructed and assembled off-site, with only minimal construction and commissioning work to be carried out on-site.
