Good pull over spot but cars are moving a bit quick, make sure to have a good large sign they can see and read quickly

Decent spot, slow cars, got lots of offers to go west. No one to go south tho, moved to on ramp after 1.5hrs

Really good spot, lots of charging ports for teslas - traffic go all ways but there’s lots of it. Met the only other hitchhiker I’ve ever seen in the uk here so it’s got an automatic 5/5

I through it was a good spot to go M6: sign M6 north. Bus stop, a lot of traffic and they slow down because of jam traffic. Nobody stop, a lot of police cars passed. I finally take a bus to Coventry.

Stood at the entrance to the petrol station and got a lift heading into London. Also got offered a lift to Milton Keynes inside the services when seen walking around with sign. Not loads of traffic but decent spot

If you buy something/are kind enough then the McDonald's in the services may give you a free cup with ice, invaluable if it is a hot day.

[M1 SOUTHBOUND]

Having surveyed the area I decided that the best place to hitch from was outside the main services building itself.

Being relatively close to London you may be able to choose which part of London/direction along the M25 you wish to get to.

It took about 35 minutes before I was offered a hitch to Brent Cross, a very useful strategic location at the interchange of the M1/A406 North Circular Road.

Great spot as the trafic light let you time to eye contact the drivers. Perfect to go North/Birmingham. Car can stop along the road.
