For someone driving round the M1- M3 stretch of the M25 what would be a
good pick up station to collect someone on the way? ie, someone coming
from central London? I'm thinking Uxbridge, but maybe there's a better
one?
thx

Hillingdon is probably easier to get to from the M25 (via M40, A40).
Heathrow Terminal 5 is the nearest to the M25, but you would need to make
sure your passenger will be there when you arrive, otherwise it gets awkward
and/or expensive.
What day of the week and what time and which direction?

It depends a bit on the time of day, but I'd suggest Rickmansworth
offpeak and Chorleywood peak. In both cases you can exit at j18 and join
again at j17.

Egham?
If you're heading off down the M3, Hook.

Thanks for the replies - it's for this afternoon, for my brother picking
up my son on route from Northampton to Poole. I think Rickmansworth look
best as I can put him on the Met at Moorgate and the Met seems to be
running well today.

It's a long way off the M25, by car (rather than flying crow).

Rubbish.
About a mile of M40, then about a mile and a bit of dual-carriageway A40.

Completely agree with Roland - we do it regularly,. Denham is harder
to get to, both for pickee and picker.

Hillingdon or West Ruislip if they are using the tube. Both stations have
car parks and are 5 mins (in non-rush hour) traffic from the M25.
I'd say West Ruislip is better if they are using the tube - the central line
is quicker usually.
