Stonehenge day trips from London compared

Most Stonehenge day trips from London go by coach and add Bath, Windsor or Oxford. They take 10 to 12 hours.

The cheapest tour starts from €85. Check whether entry is in your option: on most tours it is only if you choose it.

Our day-trip guide compares every Stonehenge day trip from London, whoever runs it. For the castle alone, see our Windsor Castle tours.

Stonehenge tickets and time slots

Book your Stonehenge ticket online by midnight the day before. That saves up to 15%, says English Heritage. On the day, you pay the full price.

Your ticket is valid all day, and there is no booking fee. English Heritage members go free.

In winter, until 16 March 2027, the site opens 9.30am to 5pm. Last entry is mid-afternoon, so check your slot.

From the Visitor Centre to the stones

A visitor bus takes 5 to 10 minutes and runs every few minutes. You can also walk, which takes 25 to 40 minutes each way.

There is no cloakroom or left luggage. Bags may be searched, and knives and scissors are not allowed.

Stonehenge inner circle tours

None of our six picks goes inside the stone circle. On a normal visit, you stay on the path, as close as about 5 metres from the stones.

Only English Heritage's Stone Circle Experience takes you inside. It starts from £70 for adults and £40 for children (5–17), on the official site.

London to Stonehenge on your own

Take the train to Salisbury, then the bus to the stones. Salisbury is about 12 miles (19 km) from Stonehenge.

South Western Railway runs direct from London Waterloo to Salisbury. The trip takes about 1 hour 30 on average, per the railway.

From Salisbury, The Stonehenge Tour bus leaves from the station and the city centre. In winter, it has 5 departures a day, from 10:05 to 14:05.

Bath is the easy add-on. GWR runs direct trains from London Paddington to Bath Spa in about 1 hour 20.

Stonehenge by bus

The Stonehenge Tour is a hop-on hop-off bus run by Salisbury Reds. It also stops at Old Sarum. Buy your Stonehenge ticket ahead to save money.

Stonehenge has no station, so a car is the main way on your own:

Compare Heathrow rental cars

Salisbury to Bath by train

You can join Stonehenge and Bath on your own, but it takes planning. Check National Rail for trains from Salisbury to Bath before you go.

A tour is the easier way to see both in a day. The Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath trips start from €85.

Booking tips for Stonehenge

  1. Book an early slot

    Early slots are the quietest way to see the stones. They also leave you time if the visitor bus has a queue.

  2. Book by midnight the day before

    Online tickets bought by then cost up to 15% less. On the day, you pay full price.

  3. Check what the tour includes

    Most coach tours include Stonehenge entry only if you choose that option. Read the options before you pay.

  4. Dress for the wind

    The stones stand on an open plain. Bring a warm, waterproof layer.

  5. Travel light

    There is no left luggage at Stonehenge. Bags may be searched.
