Gas station, lot of traffic on a Sunday. People going on M25. Got a ride to oxford―Ana

From here you can find a cars going in all directions. That makes it easier and harder at the same time. But it's still a great spot. I just needed to go for a better gas station near Luton on my way north. You can charge your phone inside and there are free toilets inside. As around and you will find someone.―martih

A pretty good gas station, if you need a ride towards Cambridge or London. I got a ride in a moment. There is a lot of traffic.―martih

Had been waiting outside petrol station for a couple hours before we realised that 90% of the traffic was entering not leaving the services. Switched spots and got offered a few lifts until eventually we got one into london within half an hour―ActingOutColours

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

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 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

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

If this parking space happens to be full, you can try a bit more north - I saw a couple like this.―Agzas

Well you are hitchhiking behind the highway sign so not a good position. But a good way to get to Cambridge and on.―Anonymous

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)

You're not allowed to hitch on motorways (M), but I was let out on the merging section here. Got picked up by a truck driver who didn't want me to get into trouble with police. So not recommended at all.―Anonymous

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
