Lots of traffic and a good pull in but you need to check with motorway your ride is going up. The M1 and M6 split not far north of here!―Ryancomet

It took me quite a while to find a truck going past London towards Dover, but with a bit of luck, you can do it easily. It's a big rest stop on both sides, so it's not hard to find a car going anywhere.―martih

I walked around and got a truck all the way to Leicester truck stop. This is a large rest stop and definitely a great place for going norh. Free toilets, Wi-Fi and power outlets. A lot of cars and even trucks.―martih

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 great spot, but if you are heading towards Cambridge, be aware that you can use both the part going north and south. There is a bridge between them for easy crossing. I needed to go for Bedford, but got a ride just to the ramp and continued from there.―martih

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

I didn't get a lift here, but the passing Buddhist monks who live at the temple just through the trees told me they like to pick people up here when they can! Maybe even try your luck in the car park?―Anonymous

Very big service station, lots of cars, all heading for London. Also a bridge over the road, so you can switch lanes here (as I did, I arrived from the South with a lift which took me around London and took a lift back into the Northern part of London)―Anonymous

In theory these bus stops near the M1 make fantastic spots, long straight roads with heavy traffic slowing for roundabouts... But I had no luck in over two hours.―Anonymous

If you buy something/are kind enough then the McDonald's in the services may give you a free cup with ice, invaluable if it is a hot day.―Willochrome

[M1 SOUTHBOUND]Having surveyed the area I decided that the best place to hitch from was outside the main services building itself.
Being relatively close to London you may be able to choose which part of London/direction along the M25 you wish to get to.
It took about 35 minutes before I was offered a hitch to Brent Cross, a very useful strategic location at the interchange of the M1/A406 North Circular Road.
