Waited just outside the exit of the petrol station. There could’ve been a better waiting spot…―Nasalodor

Really hot day and lack of sleep. Took the ride to Maidstone (aiming for France/Belg) I wanted to avoid :-DSome space at the end to stop - it's not perfect, but technically cars could stop a little after the exit too but the pull off is not so wide. A lorry did stop saying he was going on the channel tunnel but that it was paid (not true...he was blocking traffic though so I didn't have time to discuss with him...).
Look out for Ken - the guy from Singapore who's been living on the services for several months. Quite the character. Won't accept anything of help...

Good spot, though at 7AM on a Monday it didn't seem like much traffic was going far on the M25. Had a sign for Cobham/M4. Two cars stopped and offered short lifts, then after an hour one took me to Cobham services.―Wienerpolser

Heading towards Bristol. There's a space for cars to pull over. Got a lift onto the M25 in 10 minutes.―Wienerpolser

Got dropped at the terminal, after checking in, as my driver decided he didn't want to take me across. Walked around the car park asking drivers and eventually found one to take me, though most had full cars or seemed scared. Asked 2 staff at the info desk about adding passengers at this stage, one said it's too late you're past check-in, the other said it's fine you can just do it in the app (which we did, and it was fine).―Wienerpolser

Hard for cars to see and pull into the fuel station quickly enough. Moved on with a small lorry down to the Ruxley McDonalds 10 mins down the road. If you can start there. This one is not the best. Had M20 sign―Kjmurray1230

A decent, high traffic spot to get a lift to Maidstone services―Breno

I arrived in the evening at 23:00.Because foot passengers are not allowed on the ferry during the night, I asked drivers in the parking lot if they can take me with them onto the ferry.
The good things is that you pay per car and not per passengers in the car, so I didnt have to pay for the ferry at all.

Good spot to leave London in direction of Dover―Anonymous

Probably a good spot still to hitch in all direction (North - West) from London but it is more harsh to continue towards the South-East from there.―Anonymous

I agree with the other post. You can get access to this place from the road that drives paralel to the motorway, the fence is broken at the point where my marker is spotted. There are buses stoping on the road, you should be able to catch one from swanley towards here. Becareful, there is a MacDonalds.―Anonymous

Hopefully I have marked this spot right! To get to Brighton: Get the 109 bus from Brixton and get off when the bus starts going a different way from the 'Brighton' signs. This spot is on the M23, next to a row of shops with space for parking outside (great for people to pull into!) It's opposite a big pub too.―Anonymous
