Looks like I will be getting a regular night out finishing between J10 and J7 on the M25
Got all my overnight kit sorted, but the last (and first) time I did the night out I parked in a layby just off J9 of the M25. The problem was that I was parked facing downhill and kept rolling out of my bunk. Plus the traffic kept me awake. All in all I had a crap nights sleep.
Anyone know of a decent place to stop between the M40 and M23 junctions on the M25? Looking for a quiet area, but not too far off the motorway.
you could always try the two massive laybys on the a22 I think jct 6 of the m25 head for croydon and spin round at wapse’s lodge r bout then bobs your uncle a choice of two bigguns one even has a toilet block. there are laybys just off at jct 11 and 10 on the a3 towards portsmouth. or the one you mentioned outside the gestapo checkpoint at jct 9
one thing I have found to be really help full if I do have to park in a noisy layby is ear plugs
hope this helps
As above the one just north of the M25/22 junction is a good one, can’t be more than a couples of minutes off the 25, normally still parking even till late I’d say.
Joedwyer has pretty much covered everything parking wise, you’ll be hard pushed to find anywhere quiet in that area as it’s mostly posh residential and any industrial estates are either gated or security guarded.
il share one secret with you. off at jct 6 a22 follow that road past wapses lodge r bout towards purley. go for bushey close off of old barn lane in your sat nav its a nice quiet street ( dead end) with an ind estate you can turn in before about 10 pm as its gated. good tv picture plus garage with M&S 5 mins walk away. what more do you want? quilted toilet paper??
There are a couple of big laybys just of the m25 on the a30 heading in towards fetham. Always space in 1 of them, if you head down there is a layby, if that is full spin round the roundabout and there are 2 more on way back to m25. Never stopped in them but drive that road every night.
