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

Kept asking people if they were going to London, some people going the other direction or Manchester. Could not find a ride. Tried going out of the city but also could not get a ride there.―Anonymous

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

Me and a friend waited only 15mins at around 7:30am and got a lift going to London. We stood just before the petrol station. It worked well as people are slowing down because of the lights and can pull in to the petrol station easily if they want to pick you up. Staff also let us use the toilet there.―UkHitcher

I've stopped here twice while hitchhiking south from Scotland to London. First time got a ride to Birmingham, and the second time to London. Both pretty quickly. Plus the services are comfortable, with free toilets, charging sockets etc. I would definitely stop here again when looking for a longer-distance ride.―mossenmoons

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.
