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.

Bloomsbury is a charming district in London’s West End, part of the Borough of Camden, and has long been one of the city’s most fashionable and intellectual areas. It’s best known as the home of the British Museum, the largest museum in the UK. It is surrounded by world-class educational and cultural landmarks such as University College London, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and the British Medical Association. Bloomsbury also carries a strong literary legacy, being home to Bloomsbury Publishing, publishers of the Harry Potter series and giving its name to the famous Bloomsbury Group, which included Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, and John Maynard Keynes.

The district first began to develop in the 17th century under the Earls of Southampton. Still, it was the Duke of Bedford in the 19th century who truly shaped it into an elegant Regency-era neighbourhood. Much of this transformation was led by James Burton, the renowned developer who designed many of its iconic garden squares. Today, Bloomsbury Square, Russell Square, and Bedford Square remain at the heart of the area, preserving its historic character and charm.

For groups wanting to explore Bloomsbury and its nearby attractions without worrying about London traffic or public transport, Big Ben Coaches is your trusted travel partner. With our modern Mercedes-Benz fleet and professional drivers, we make sure you arrive in comfort and style, right where the action happens. Whether you’re planning a cultural day out at the British Museum, a stroll through its garden squares, or a wider London sightseeing tour with multiple stops, we’ll handle the journey so you can relax and enjoy everything Bloomsbury has to offer.
