A blind corner as cars are speeding up for the motorway. There is space to stop. Maybe try along London Road but there’s not many good spots to stop around the roundabout―Breno

I find lifts in Oxfordshire take a bit longer than average. Good spot for cars to stop in the bus bay. Despite the rain made it halfway to London!!―Breno

Walked here from Leuven, asked around, two of them were going to Brussels and the third one happened to be a couple living near London, so I got a ride from here through Eurotunnel all the way to north of London. And they ended up being worried that I will get stuck hitchhiking out of the London bubble, so they bought be a crazy expensive train ticket to Manchester, so I got to my friend’s place by the evening! ☺️―anettlee17

The point is great for hitching towards Oxford/Birmingham (M40) or M25 - also, there is a hatched-marking section, where a car can stop to pick you up even when the traffic is heavy.Always stand with a sign stating your destination, as a lot of traffic goes round M25.
Also, there is an OxfordTube bus stop nearby, so you can always take the bus if you are really stuck.

Good place for hitch-hiking onto M40 - 1.5 miles away from Uxbridge station. Make sure the driver is going straight through on M40, and not on M25―Anonymous

Great spot to get towards Oxford/Birmingham, even though it's quite hard to get there from London―Anonymous

Great spot, got a ride north easily with a sign saying M40 where I could easily keep hitching all the way to Glasgow―Tarea32

Worked for me aswell. Cars can stop there very easy, as there is some place beside the road.―Anonymous

Lots of rich people coming from london mostly not used to seeing hitchhikers. Although the spot looked great.―Martox

I came from Uxbridge and thought this spot must be good but most people didnt bother and never stopped. People are also going local or to heathrow. Ended up asking people at the traffic light.―Anonymous

Hitchhiking with sign "London M40", the traffic is pretty fast, but I think it's the best spot to get to London, most of the traffic goes that direction. Got 2 cars at once asking me if I wanna go.. wasn't all the way to Central London but was quite close―JKCzech

On the way to Oxford.. when heavy traffic, you can get someone on traffic lights―JKCzech

The spot is not the best, but the cars can pull on the side to the island with the pedestrian crossing. I was hitchhiking to Central London with a sign "London A40" people stop there at the traffic lights so they have enough time to see you. All traffic goes in the direction of Central London. So pretty good, 4/5 because for hitchhiker it's not the top spot but there is no better at this place. It's safe when you stay on the island on the road.―JKCzech

surprisingly smiley people (if you're smiling!). good spot for London, lots of opportunity for them to slow down and give you attention, and little layby.―raff8ty

June 2025 - M40 west. After giving up on a spot in London I went here. About 30 mins walk from the train station, you have to smash down some brambles and it is a slipway so technically not legal, but it took no time at all and I actually got all the way to my destination in the Cotswolds―Anonymous

We actually took time to find the good spot and this one was not bad, but not the best..All the cars go to the M1, but drive quite fast/small place to park next to the garage. Good luck !
