A blind corner as cars are speeding up for the motorway. There is space to stop. Maybe try along London Road but there’s not many good spots to stop around the roundabout

Had hear good things about this spot but after 2 hours with a sign to Bristol I decided to call it a day

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

It took a while to find someone, but at the end I asked someone who was filling his tank, going to Exeter.

The point is great for hitching towards Oxford/Birmingham (M40) or M25 - also, there is a hatched-marking section, where a car can stop to pick you up even when the traffic is heavy.
Always stand with a sign stating your destination, as a lot of traffic goes round M25.

Also, there is an OxfordTube bus stop nearby, so you can always take the bus if you are really stuck.

Good place for hitch-hiking onto M40 - 1.5 miles away from Uxbridge station. Make sure the driver is going straight through on M40, and not on M25

Just to add some more detail here - This spot is at the start of the M4, so I've used it for Bristol etc. The best way to get there is to get to Chiswick Park tube station, either by tube or bus. When you get off the tube, walk straight out of the exit, over the bridge towards Chiswick High Road. Then turn right, and walk along the high road about 15 minutes. When you get to the big roundabout, you'll see a petrol station at the opposite side of the of the roundabout. Just after that petrol station is a kind of slip road heading towards Junction 2 of the M4. There is a layby cars can stop in.

This hitch-hiking spot lies just next to a bus stop, and just after a pedestrian crossing, so the traffic passing this point is quite slow. Good for getting onto the M3

Waited about 1.5 hours here and got a ride in August 2010. Wait JUST before the bus stop, and if someone stops they can pull right in.

This is a bit of a special spot - it can be very rewarding if you're going north (don't bother if you're going south, service stations are a much better bet) - but it's super hard work to find the right spot to ask around (for example short term parking spots, although there are a lot of taxi drivers and people going to london), and there is so much going on... plus airport security might not really like you so much.
