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―ActingOutColours

Just to add some more detail here - This spot is at the start of the M4, so I've used it for Bristol etc. The best way to get there is to get to Chiswick Park tube station, either by tube or bus. When you get off the tube, walk straight out of the exit, over the bridge towards Chiswick High Road. Then turn right, and walk along the high road about 15 minutes. When you get to the big roundabout, you'll see a petrol station at the opposite side of the of the roundabout. Just after that petrol station is a kind of slip road heading towards Junction 2 of the M4. There is a layby cars can stop in.―Anonymous

This hitch-hiking spot lies just next to a bus stop, and just after a pedestrian crossing, so the traffic passing this point is quite slow. Good for getting onto the M3―Anonymous

Waited about 1.5 hours here and got a ride in August 2010. Wait JUST before the bus stop, and if someone stops they can pull right in.―Anonymous

This is a bit of a special spot - it can be very rewarding if you're going north (don't bother if you're going south, service stations are a much better bet) - but it's super hard work to find the right spot to ask around (for example short term parking spots, although there are a lot of taxi drivers and people going to london), and there is so much going on... plus airport security might not really like you so much.―Anonymous

Had a lot of problems finding somebody going south on the M25, but M4 seems to be easy. Was surprised by the lack of traffic.―Koendev

Very good place, not so much traffic, but easy to catch someone on a road going to Bristol. Have been catching for almost 15 minutes.Near H28 and 111 bus stops and quite far away from Hounslow West metro station from Picadilly Line.
