'''King's Lynn''' is an industrial/market town in [[East (England)|East Anglia]] in the east of [[England]] in the [[United Kingdom]].
The main place to get out of the town is to go to the Hardwick roundabout (argued as being the biggest junction in England).
===South, towards [[London]]===
To travel south (towards London) a great spot for hitchhiking is the turnoff from the Hardwick Roundabout onto the A10, whereby standing by the pedestrian crossing with a thumb out can normally get a ride within 15 minutes as there is a lay-by right by it. However, because most of the traffic is local traffic most of the rides will be to nearby towns like Downham Market and Ely, although again these places are easy hitching out of.
===East, [[Norwich]]===
To head east (towards Norwich) find the turnoff to the A47 eastbound (signposted Norwich). There is a lay-by a few metres onto this road.
Don't press the traffic light button constantly to stop traffic and get a warning from a [[police]]man like [[User:Whisperingofthestars|Jason]] did. But that's just common sense.
There is a youth hostel near the Saturday Market Place, but it is a bit pricey (as with most youth hostels in the country). Otherwise, [http://www.couchsurfing.com/ CouchSurfing] is an option, as the streets of King's Lynn are not usually the safest of places at night.
