(on the Dover -> Calais ferry) we paid £30 and joined the ferry as foot passengers. there were lots of people driving off the ferry. we were 3 people and did not find a lift for all of us, but split into 2 and 1, and both groups found lifts to London. we asked almost everyone on the ferry and found 2-3 offers.―Alifeee

Had been waiting outside petrol station for a couple hours before we realised that 90% of the traffic was entering not leaving the services. Switched spots and got offered a few lifts until eventually we got one into london within half an hour―ActingOutColours

REDBRIDGE ROUNDABOUT A12 towards Chelmsford, Colchester and Ipswich. Big parking space, with lots of traffic going by. Might take a few rides to get out of London from here, but a great starting point and it's easily accessible by tube (Redbridge station).―Anonymous

It's worked a few times, but there are far better spots to get out of London on the A12. Try Redbridge roundabout further down.―Anonymous

There is a round about with stop lights. On this corner you will find a McDonalds. There are some cars coming from here from the centre of London to the A12/11.Try it out and let me know

If this parking space happens to be full, you can try a bit more north - I saw a couple like this.―Agzas

Not the best pull off spot for cars, often travelling at speed and seeing you late as they tun off the roundabout. Saying that someone stopped for me within 20 mins.Recommend holding an 'M11' sign.

You're not allowed to hitch on motorways (M), but I was let out on the merging section here. Got picked up by a truck driver who didn't want me to get into trouble with police. So not recommended at all.―Anonymous

Direction Cambridge. Great spot - there's a long enough parking space for the cars to pull aside. They are slowed down by the junction before, so more time to decide. Only downside is it's still London so cars might not go far.―Anonymous
