The junction is very large. Depending on where you want to go, it may or may not be easy to get a lift from the service station. If you want the A1 North, it will be difficult. The traffic around the junction and on the exit roads is moving too fast to safely hitch. Maybe try these if there's a traffic jam―Anonymous

the worst place I have ever been, there is no real good spot to stand, it took me over 2 hours to get a ride. the ride was from a nice taxidriver who dropt me of on the M25, not even on a service station―Anonymous

I stood few meters back on the corner of petrol station so that cars came out on my right and passed by (slowed down) on my left. Went to St Albans (west) (had my sign) and nobody seemed to go there - got picked up by a guy who had just come from there and was kind enough to make a big detour. However I saw many drivers pointing east and many of the drivers questioned in the petrol station before that mentioned Cambridge. So that direction might be much luckier.―Agzas

The service area layout forces a lot of traffic through the Waitrose parking lot. Standing near where cars turned to leave it seemed like the best approach. Got a ride to Dartford/Thurrock after maybe 40 minutes.―Ednaxe

Direction London - got a ride within 10 minutes (had a sign, but maybe was just lucky). The guy said he stopped because the roundabout slows the speed down enough.Should be also able to go the other direction of M25. The cars passing by were enough (end of the weekend, May, 7pm)

Direction Cambridge. Not perfect, but at least there are 2 lanes, so if somebody stops, he doesn't block the road. Got ride in 5 mins.―Anonymous

I can't say how good this place is, since I got picked up from a relative of a driver, who drove me earlier that day! Cars can stop next to the road on the green, but it might not be as intuitive, as for example a bus stop.―Anonymous

Eventhough, there is a McDonald's here, and a gas station, it took me two hours, on a late wednesday morning to get a ride north on the A10. Cars a are driving by fast, and there is loads of them. Technically conditions should be really good, but I had a tough time here.―Anonymous

Stood there, trying to go north on the A10. There is no space for cars to stop, so I was hoping for the driver to turn into Vancouver Road, which eventually worked out. I did not see him, but he honked for me. He did have to make a u-turn for me, sth, which will decrease your chances. Not the best spot, took a decent time of waiting.―Anonymous

Walked here from Epping. Pretty decent spot but there are little walkways in the roundabout.―Anonymous

Very frequent offers for lifts, but all heading in the wrong direction (apparently) up North - we were trying to head South. Standing on this point you can ask all the customers coming out the drive through with their windows down so easy to talk. to everyone. Eventually got a lift along the M25 from someone taking pity on us, while he was parked eating his lunch.―louie

Waited for just over 2 hours for a lift on a Friday morning, trying two different signs - M11s / SOUTH. 2 cars stopped before but were heading the wrong way. Good flow of traffic but very few heading onto the M11 southbound, only 1 car every 30s took the junction. People tend to use J12 higher up to leave Cambridge, although harder to find somewhere to stand.―louie

Good spot to stand and people can stop on the bus stop. but not that many cars go to Cambridge―Anonymous
