Travelling from London to Stonehenge
Getting to Stonehenge from London is easy and there are several ways to travel.
By train
Salisbury is the nearest train station. There is a direct line from London Waterloo which takes around 1h30m. From Salisbury you can take a taxi from the station (12 miles/19 km) or take the Stonehenge Tour Bus which departs hourly from the railway station forecourt. You have the option to stop off at Old Sarum if you choose to take the bus.
By coach
There are many companies offering coach tours from London. Many of these depart from London Victoria 364 days per year. There are also small group and private hire options available to book online.
By car
Journey time from central London is around 2 hours. We encourage you to car share where possible. Stonehenge is located just off the A303. For Sat Nav use SP4 7DE and follow the brown and white tourist signs to the Visitor Centre.
Parking
There is a parking charge to non-members. We recommend downloading the Pay By Phone app in advance. English Heritage Members should display their membership sticker clearly in their car window. Associated Members (CSSC, NT England, CADW & Historic Scotland) also park free of charge but will need to display an exemption in their window which can be requested at admissions.
Our commitment to the environment
Stonehenge is a world class visitor attraction attracting visitors from across the globe. From sustainable building design to recycling waste, we take our commitment to the environment seriously.
