Every stop on the M25

The M25 is the London orbital, roughly 117 miles of motorway ringing the capital, and for a road that busy it carries only four full service areas, so knowing where they sit matters. Going clockwise you've got RoadChef Clacket Lane, with a BP forecourt, near Westerham, then Cobham (Extra MSA) in Surrey, South Mimms (Welcome Break) at J23 where the A1(M) joins, and Moto Thurrock at J30 on the eastern side near the Dartford crossing. The long gap is the clockwise run from Cobham up to South Mimms with nothing in between, which is why plenty of drivers misjudge their fuel or charge stop. In the app, Jornee estimates the minutes each of these adds to your trip.

EV charging on the M25

All four M25 services have rapid charging. Cobham (Extra MSA) runs Ionity at up to 350 kW alongside GridServe, Moto Thurrock (J30) has a Tesla Supercharger at up to 250 kW plus GridServe, South Mimms (Welcome Break, J23) pairs the same 250 kW Tesla Supercharger with GridServe, and RoadChef Clacket Lane has GridServe. The Jornee app shows the rated speed per stop.

Charging on the M25 has come a long way, and every service area carries rapid chargers. Cobham (Extra MSA) is the headline site, with Ionity rated to 350 kW and GridServe alongside it, open around the clock. South Mimms (Welcome Break, J23) pairs a 250 kW Tesla Supercharger with GridServe, and Moto Thurrock (J30) does the same. RoadChef Clacket Lane runs GridServe. Kilowatt ratings vary by site, so Jornee filters by connector and rated speed.

For motorcyclists on the M25

Motorcycle bays are not something we record, so treat this as orientation rather than a count. What we do hold is showers at all four M25 services, and round-the-clock opening at Cobham (Extra MSA), RoadChef Clacket Lane and South Mimms (Welcome Break, J23), which makes any of the three a place to warm up on a cold ride. Moto Thurrock has showers but is not recorded as open 24 hours. On a road this exposed to crosswinds and stop-start orbital traffic, In the app, Jornee estimates how many minutes each stop adds to your ride, which helps you plan around the long clockwise stretch from Cobham to South Mimms where there's nowhere to stop at all.

Secure HGV parking near the M25

All four M25 services take HGVs and have driver showers. South Mimms (Welcome Break, J23) is the one recorded as a dedicated HGV truckstop. Cobham (Extra MSA), RoadChef Clacket Lane and South Mimms are open 24 hours; Moto Thurrock is not. We record no bay counts, booking schemes or overnight rates. The Jornee app filters for truck-friendly stops.

Secure overnight HGV parking is the M25's tightest squeeze, since the orbital carries just four service areas for a road this busy, and demand runs high. All four have HGV parking and driver showers. South Mimms (Welcome Break, J23) is the only one recorded as a dedicated HGV truckstop. Cobham (Extra MSA), RoadChef Clacket Lane and South Mimms run 24 hours, while Moto Thurrock near the Dartford crossing is not recorded as round-the-clock. Bay counts, booking schemes and overnight rates are not in our data, so check with the operator. The app estimates the minutes each one adds, so you can see which of the four costs you least.

All four M25 services have HGV parking and driver showers. South Mimms (Welcome Break, J23) is recorded as a dedicated HGV truckstop. Cobham (Extra MSA), RoadChef Clacket Lane and South Mimms are open 24 hours; Moto Thurrock, near the Dartford crossing, is not. Bay counts and rates are not in our data, so check with the operator first.
Which M25 services have rapid EV charging?
All four do. Cobham (Extra MSA) runs Ionity up to 350 kW alongside GridServe, open around the clock. South Mimms (Welcome Break, J23) has a 250 kW Tesla Supercharger and GridServe. Moto Thurrock (J30) pairs the same Tesla Supercharger with GridServe, and RoadChef Clacket Lane runs GridServe. The Jornee app shows the rated speed per stop.
What EV chargers are at Cobham services on the M25?
Cobham, run by Extra MSA, is the M25's strongest charging site: Ionity rated to 350 kW with GridServe alongside it, open 24 hours. The forecourt is Shell and the site has showers. Cobham sits at the start of the long clockwise gap up to South Mimms, so it is the last fast charge for a while.
Is there motorcycle parking on the M25?
We do not record motorcycle bays, so we cannot tell you which sites set them aside. What we do hold is showers at all four M25 services, and round-the-clock opening at Cobham, RoadChef Clacket Lane and South Mimms. Watch the long clockwise gap from Cobham to South Mimms, where there's nowhere to stop.
What are all the services on the M25?
There are four. RoadChef Clacket Lane, with a BP forecourt, sits near Westerham; Cobham (Extra MSA) is in Surrey; South Mimms (Welcome Break) is at J23 where the A1(M) meets the orbital; and Moto Thurrock is at J30 on the eastern side near the Dartford crossing.
How do I avoid congestion on the M25 orbital?
The M25 is one of the busiest motorways in Britain, and the long clockwise run from Cobham up to South Mimms (J23) has no services at all, so plan fuel, charge and rest stops before you set off. In the app, Jornee estimates the minutes each stop adds off your route, so you can pick the services that cost you least.
