Hitchhiking in the '''United Kingdom''' easily possible, although the British are a little surprised to see people still doing it these days. Hitchhiking is illegal on the motorways, but is allowed at service stations and slip roads.  When travelling a long distance on the motorways it is best to stick to the service stations as getting a lift on a slip road will take an exceptionally long time. Don't get dropped at any motorway junctions (M25/M4 / M4/M5 / etc) as traffic will be going too fast to stop and you will probably be picked up by the police. In case you ''do'' get dropped there your best option is probably to start walking a bit away from the highway, and if you're a foreigner, attach a sign to your backpack saying e.g. "from Holland".
