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.

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

To get to Clacket Lane Service Station from London get a train to Bromley (you can use an Oyster card: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/14836.aspx), then bus 246 (timetable here: http://www.londonbusroutes.net/times/246Sum.htm)Ask the driver to tell you when you get to Pilgrims Lane, then walk down Pilgrims Lane and Pilgrims Way to Clacket Lane Services. You can see where you're going on a map here: http://www.motorwayservices.info/clacket_lane_services_m25/googlemap Where it says "Clacket Wood" is the service station. There is also a street view of this area on google maps.
Clacket Lane is an excellent place to hitch to Brighton (Westbound) or Dover (Eastbound) and also fairly good for most other directions as it's a busy station. Best thing is to stand outside the main doors into the station and ask everyone that comes out if they are going your way ("excuse me, are you by any chance going to Bighton?")
To get from one side to the other walk down the country lane to the back of the station until you get to the bridge and cross to the other side (couple of km)

This is an awesome spot. Only waited two hours with a sign that read "Dover". My first hitching experience as an American was wonderful :)―Anonymous
