Hitchhiking in the '''United Kingdom''' easily possible, is feasable although the British are a little surprised to see people still doing it these days, you will manage a ride somehow. Hitchhiking is illegal on the motorways, but is allowed on slip roads and at service stations and slip roads-station (at discretion of the owner).
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 longer 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".
Useful tip: In city libraries you can use Internet PC's for free after a short free registration (some want to see a passport, some aren't that strict).
