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

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

This is a bit of a special spot - it can be very rewarding if you're going north (don't bother if you're going south, service stations are a much better bet) - but it's super hard work to find the right spot to ask around (for example short term parking spots, although there are a lot of taxi drivers and people going to london), and there is so much going on... plus airport security might not really like you so much.―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

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

It 's forbiden to stay anyway at Heathrow with a sign. I tried to wait at Arrival hall on Terminal 1, by taxi drivers. When you see taxi driver going out with olny one person just ask them about lift to center. I got ride with first person I asked.―Anonymous

Would have to agree that airport security can be cagey. There is a free travel zone operating around the airport on the tube/buses which will get you to the A4 or A30 (Hatton Cross tube station) which would be far safer areas to hitch from.http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/gettingaround/maps/buses/pdf/heathrowterminals123-13970.pdf

From local knowledge I can confirm that this is quite a fast moving roundabout.―Willochrome

When we went scouting the day before, the police stopped us and took us to the other side of the roundabout, on the A408.―Zerbinet
