About Stonehenge Express

Stonehenge Express: 
The Morning Discovery Tour

Beat the Crowds, See the Stones, and Be Back for Lunch

Experience Britain’s most iconic prehistoric monument without sacrificing your entire day. At Big Ben Coaches, we specialise in "smart travel" getting you to the world’s most famous landmarks ahead of the masses, so you can enjoy the majesty of the Stone Circle the way it was intended: in peace.

The Early Bird Advantage

Why fight the midday traffic and the afternoon crowds? Our tour departs from London at 7:30 AM sharp. By setting off early, we ensure that Big Ben Coaches is among the very first groups to arrive at the Salisbury Plain.

Stepping off the coach at 9:45 AM, you’ll breathe in the crisp morning air and enjoy clear views of the monoliths before the large tour fleets arrive. It’s the ultimate way to capture that perfect, crowd-free photo and experience the true mystery of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Stonehenge Express in Kensington London

Kensington is one of London’s most prestigious and recognisable districts, known for its royal heritage, elegant architecture, cultural landmarks and green spaces. Located in West London, it combines historic residences, major museums, high-end shopping streets and refined public spaces, making it a popular destination for school groups, cultural tours, corporate journeys and private travel.

The history of Kensington is closely tied to the British monarchy and to London’s growth as a centre of culture and public life. Kensington Palace has been a royal residence since the 17th century and is especially associated with Queen Victoria, who was born there and spent much of her early life at the palace. Over time, the surrounding district developed into an area of grand terraces, garden squares and important institutions, giving Kensington a long-standing reputation for elegance, influence and heritage.

Kensington is also one of London’s leading cultural districts, with world-famous attractions clustered around South Kensington and the royal parkland nearby. The area is home to the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Gardens, all of which help make it one of the capital’s most visited areas. With free museums, concerts, exhibitions, royal parks and shopping streets such as High Street Kensington, the district attracts families, students, international visitors and business travellers throughout the year.

For group travel, Kensington is ideal for itineraries focused on education, culture, events and premium London experiences. Big Ben Coaches provides professional coach hire in Kensington for school trips, tours, museum visits, corporate events, airport transfers and private group transport, helping passengers travel smoothly between hotels, attractions, venues and transport hubs. With modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles and experienced drivers, we help groups explore Kensington in comfort while making the most of one of London’s most distinguished areas.
