Help- access to a loo on M25 anticlockwise

Help! I have a medical condition which means at times I need the loo more often than most people. I am going to have to travel from South Mimms round to Guildford. Sometimes it will be fine, other times I may be desperate especially if having been stuck in traffic.
I know there are no service stations as such but is there any junction where I can drive off the M25 and will find a garage, garden centre etc or supermarket with loos within a mile or so of the junction?

not a direct answer, but this site gives the A road service stations as well as the motorway ones.

be aware that your journey goes round the busiest section and unless you are doing it late at night or get really lucky, it could take 2 hours or more. I used to do it regularly and timed right it could be done in 20 mins, but those days are long gone with the population explosion in the south east.

Perhaps buy a she-wee in case there is a crash and you get stuck.

Thanks- have also put this on the UK travel part and had some replies. You forgot to link to the website I think? Yes, I anticipated 2 hours and I would need at least one loo stop.

I have IC so I know exactly what you mean, one of my worst nightmares when travelling is getting stuck in traffic. We did this a couple of months ago and unfortunately got stuck in traffic. I in the end had to pull off at the Heathrow turning where there is a garage about 3 min down the road.

Oh it sucks big time, We are off for the weekend tomorrow and I am getting ready to start planning toilet breaks. On one road we travel I even have a specific road I pull into that I know has a secluded lay-by!

Do you have a sat nav? We have programmed ours to show up all the locations of McDonalds, you can always find a toilet there!
