Experience prehistoric wonder on the London to Stonehenge journey

Board at London Waterloo and glide southwest through the rolling Wiltshire countryside toward Amesbury or Salisbury. Onboard, relax in comfortable seating with power outlets and free Wi-Fi, watching villages and fields go by in the glorious English countryside. From Amesbury station, it's a quick walk to Stonehenge, or you can catch the bus to Salisbury along the River Avon, and then transfer to the Stonehenge Tour Bus, winding through woodlands before the iconic stone circle emerges on the horizon. If you’re already in Salisbury, you can catch the tour bus there.

Once you arrive at the stones, wander the visitor center’s interactive exhibits or join a guided tour to learn thousands of years of Neolithic history. When you’re ready, reverse your route by bus back to Salisbury or Amesbury and board your train to London, arriving refreshed after a day among Britain’s most mysterious monoliths. Remember, with the Winter and Summer Solstices on December 21st and June 21st respectively, these are particularly popular times for visitors who want to experience the ancient mystery of the stones. So, if you’re planning a visit at these times, make sure to book well in advance.

When to Book Your London to Stonehenge Ticket

Advance fares (“Advance” and “Super Advance”) are released 12 weeks before departure and sell out fast, especially on weekends and school holidays. For the lowest prices, book 2-3 months in advance. Standard Anytime fares remain available up to the day of travel but at a premium.

How to Buy Cheap London to Stonehenge Tickets

  • Travel off-peak. Midday and late-evening trains usually have lower demand.
  • Use a Railcard. 16-25, Two Together, Senior and other railcards save you 1/3 on fares.
  • Book singles instead of returns. Two one-way tickets can be cheaper than a return.
