From Hackney, London there is a big moterway/highway ring road which goes south into a tunnel and eventually connects with the M25. I waited for more than a hour on an onramp and someone eventually picked me up and told me he had only done so because i had a guitar with me and he was a musican and that that particualar area is quite dangerous!

Well, you had bad luck in this place but was the place ok for to pull over a car or even a truck? Generally spoken, UK is a rather easy hitching country but has its on ramps often built as hitcher hostile as DE. We need to know the starting places, buddy.

this on ramp had quite a lot of space to pull in on. i had to walk right half way up the ramp till there was room but no one was stopping because of this areas reputation.

Hackney? There must surely be greater places to hitch out of London than here!

You need to take one of the local trains to Mottingham (Zone 4). Go to a station where there is the regional rail traffic and ask somebody how to get to Mottingham by train (if have already a ticket for zone 1 and 2 you just need to pay something about 2 pounds to get the ticket). If you arrive in Mottingham you just need to go on the other side of the tracks, go out of the station and you go to your right just 100m to a mainroad. There is petrol station with a lot of local traffic, but if you ask for a lift to the next Mc Donalds on that road, where another petrol station is as well, you have good chance to travel on.
