Heading to Europe. Had a sign saying M25 S. Waited 50 minutes then got a lift to Cobham services. (Think most traffic here is heading straight into London)

Pretty chill, couple people stopped took me as far as they could (reading services) as was trying to get to London. Waited using a sign first then just used thumb and that was better maybe

The services are a bit confusing but feasable (direction South to Winchester)

Fleet Services (Direction London and
North): This is your last spot before
the M25, it is the best spot to be
before the M25

I agree coming off the M3 towards is a bad idea here, although there is a train station with no barriers and is hardly ever checked. good advice if stuck is heading to sunningdale and hopping the train at a late peak time. if towards reading there are no barriers at Early station, if towards london there are barriers at Clapham junction but at peak times these are almost always open.
