The only wide pull-off to get down the A429 (cotswolds). Folk not as friendly as in Scotland, but you should be able to get a ride here.

The original Spaghetti junction - never tried it myself, but I can image it'd be average to bad, although in walking distance from Birmingham city center and also safely reachable on foot. Cars have space to pull over, go past quite quckly in two lanes, though. Also there's quite a lot of police going past.

Motorway services. Good for getting a ride in any direction (there is a northbound and southbound side, and a bridge connecting them).

Got dropped off here begin of April. Got another ride at 3pm within 5min with my sign saying "M6 North". Waited after the petrol station. But you can even ask people at parking area.
Bridge gives you even the oportunity to go to M1 if you want to hitchhike north.

For some reason or other the Midlands have some of the worst services in the country. The Spaghetti junction you shouldn't use, because you will never get a lift. If your heading towards manchester, try to get a train or bus to Stafford, and hitch from there, the next few service areas Northbound are horrific for rides Northbound, you could end up in one of these old fashioned services for over 24 hours...train / bus stafford, believe me, it will take the strain of hitch hiking off you, north stafford and you wont have problems going north,

I asked the people at the petrol station for a lift. The majority of them were locals. So I had to wait for 40 min until someone took me directly to Oxford.

Can get here by bus. Pretty dangerous spot but only took about 20 minutes to get a lift in this specific place.
