Central London to Southampton via Stonehenge: Private Transfer

A prehistoric stone circle on the way to your cruise

This is a private transfer from Central London to Southampton Cruise Port with a dedicated stop at Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your driver meets you at your hotel, takes you to Stonehenge for 75 minutes to explore at your own pace, then continues to Southampton. You avoid public transport and crowded stations while visiting one of the world's greatest historic monuments on the same journey.

The experience

Your driver collects you from your hotel lobby or residence entrance at the scheduled time, loads your luggage, and drives you toward Southampton. The route takes approximately 2 hours 30 minutes to reach Stonehenge, depending on traffic. At the site, your driver drops you at the entrance where Stonehenge staff assist you. A shuttle bus, included with your entry ticket, runs between the parking lot and the stone circle itself. You then have 75 minutes to walk the grounds and take in the monument at your own pace before returning to the parking lot, where your driver waits to take you on to Southampton Cruise Port or your hotel.

The vehicle you travel in depends on your group size: a Saloon seats up to 2 passengers with 2 large suitcases and 2 carry-on bags each; an MPV holds up to 4 passengers with the same luggage allowance per person; a Large MPV or Business MPV accommodates up to 6 passengers with 6 large and 6 carry-on suitcases. Each passenger can also bring one handbag or backpack. If your luggage exceeds the allowance for your chosen vehicle, an upgrade to a larger one will be required. The vehicle is air-conditioned, and bottled water is provided for each passenger. For Southampton port pickups, you get an extra 20 minutes of free waiting time on arrival.

Stonehenge entry tickets are not included and must be purchased in advance through the official Stonehenge website. Tickets are not sold at the gate. Opening times are generally 09:30 AM, though they differ on the summer and winter solstices, so check the official site for your visit date. If you want more than 75 minutes at the site, let the operator know in advance to arrange extended time, which may incur an additional fee. During the summer solstice in late June, the site is at its busiest. Shuttle queues can be long and the standard 75-minute stop may not feel like enough time.
