Hitchhiking in the '''United Kingdom''' is feasable although the British are a little surprised to see people still doing it these days (it's become a dyeing trend largely due to the safety issues), you will manage a ride somehow. It is illegal to walk on motorways, and so hitchhiking is best done from the bottom of sliproads and at service-station (at discretion of the owner). __NOTOC__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 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"''.

If you're hitchhiking long distances and considering making a sign, in general people use the motorway names rather than the city names. For example, from [[London ]] to [[Cornwall ]] have a sign saying ''M4''. But if you are hitching on a motorway with multiple cities (i.e., ''M1'') it is an idea to use a sign with the city name (e.g., Nottingham, Sheffield). == To [[FranceNottingham]] ==Hitchhiking from England to , [[France]] is possible.
