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

Really good spot, lots of charging ports for teslas - traffic go all ways but there’s lots of it. Met the only other hitchhiker I’ve ever seen in the uk here so it’s got an automatic 5/5―Kjmurray1230

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

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.
