Motorway Services direction Eastward, especially good for direction Brighton

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 actually westbound ;-) - anyway, it's a good spot to get towards Brighton, Portsmouth, Gatwick, Heathrow, possibly Bristol, but NOT Birmingham or anywhere north of London.

Going eastwards (e.g. Dover) make sure you get a lift at least as far as Maidstone services

Asked many people at the parking lot and gas station to get to Maidstone/Folkestone. Everybody kept following the M25. After 2 hours somebody came to me and said he drives to Dover.

You can talk to the drivers in front of the restaurant. Got a ride in 1h to the M3 (southampton)

Do not try hitchhiking here as it's illegal to do so on the motorway. Cops came and told us we had to leave after half an hour. Go to the gas station.

Best spot to hitchhike out of Gatwick towards London probably since everyone coming out of the station this way has to stop. Got a ride north after 40 mins.
