Changes

Hitchhiking out of London is pretty tricky, but not impossible - the big problem is getting onto a motorway is a bit of a challenge, once you're on the motorway, stick to the petrol stations, hitching entrance ramp to entrance ramp is quite difficult, especially in the big cities.

Heading for '''Cornwall''', it is much more easier hitching the M4 and changing to the M5 in [[Bristol]] than trying to hitch the M3 through [[South West (England)|Dorset]].

There is also an Oxford Tube coach stop in Western Avenue/Freezeland Way nearby. If you happen to get really stuck (which I think you won't - I waited only about 12 minutes for a ride on an evening during a post-Christmas season) and only need to get to Oxford, this might be an alternative.

''(See information for M1, Option 2 - Staples Corner. Hold the sign saying "A1 North". There must be better places to get onto A1, though...)'' {{infoneeded| Help complete this information with the one available for the M20}}

* '''Where to''': ('''''[[East (England)|The East]]'''''), [[Cambridge]], [[Peterborough]], [[Norwich]], [[London Stansted]]

* '''Cost of public transport''': One ticket to zone 4

The M11 begins near Redbridge, so this is an ideal place to go to. [[user:Siinvincible|Simon]] and [[user:Whisperingofthestars|Jason]] managed to get a ride to Newmarket from the train to Redbridge, as someone noticed us making a sign.

* '''Where to''': ('''''[[South West (England)|The South West]]'''''), [[Basingstoke]], [[Salisbury]], [[Southampton]], [[Porstmouth]], [[South West (England)|Dorset]], [[Bournemouth]]

* '''Cost of public transport''': One ticket/travelcard to zone 6 + one ticket from ''Hampton'' to ''Kempton Park'' railway station.

'''Kempton Park''' station is just outside London Transport Zones (''Hampton'', the previous station on the Waterloo-Shepperton line, is in zone 6), but it has no ticket barriers and the chances of meeting a ticket inspector between ''Hampton'' and ''Kempton Park'' should be quite remote.

* '''Where to''': ('''''[[South East (England)|The South East]]'''''), [[Woking]], [[Porstmouth]], [[Guildford]], [[Worthing]]

* '''Cost of public transport''':

''The A24 is best reached directly in Leatherhead outside the M25, there is a on-ramp to the M25 as well''

* '''Where to''': ('''''[[South East (England)|The South East]]'''''), [[Brighton]], [[Eastbourne]]
