i'd second the recommendation for Avebury because it is less famous and you can get much closer. ...

the view of stonehenge is actually best from the main through road, although you cannot stop, only drive past.

in the area too is Salisbury cathedral [salisburycathedral.org.uk], which is a truly awesome sight! different era but still over 700 years old.

for those unable to visit stonehenge the try CarHenge [carhenge.com] hehe, i visited last year at sundown, very cool.

its not so bad but remember too that parking is also very expensive in London and not always provided by hotels, also take note of parking restrictions the traffic wardens work to targets in london and are very diligent, overrunning a meter by 1 minute could cost you $60
