Every stop on the M25: Cobham, Clacket Lane, South Mimms and Thurrock
The M25 runs roughly 117 miles around London, and Jornee sorts every stop by real driving time, not as-the-crow-flies, so you head for the services you can actually reach quickest.

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. Jornee ranks each of these by how long it actually takes you to reach them in live traffic, rather than by which dot looks closest on the map.

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 ad-hoc rate and 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, and shows the ad-hoc rate per stop.
| Service area | Operator | Rapid EV network | Forecourt |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cobham | Extra MSA | Ionity + GridServe, to 350 kW | Shell |
| South Mimms (J23) | Welcome Break | Tesla Supercharger + GridServe, to 250 kW | BP |
| Moto Thurrock (J30) | Moto | Tesla Supercharger + GridServe, to 250 kW | Esso |

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, Jornee lets you filter for the nearest stop by real riding time and dodge 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. Jornee ranks them by real driving time so you can head for the one with the best chance of a space.
