Top 10 Central London Petrol Head visits?

[smuudge]

Question for all really.

Off into town with a fellow petrol head tomorrow. Is there such a thing as a Top 10 Attractions list for the petrol enthusiast in Central London, and i dont mean car dealerships in Knightsbridge!

Cheers for any tips in advance..

You could sit outside Harrods with a Thermos and mac and post videos of arab cars onto Youtube to the annoyance of the residents.

I like the London Transport Museum, but that might not be quite what you're after.

Would do but the other traveller is a black cabbie so probably not!

Blackfriars underpass.

the only car related pleasure I ever get in London is the late night-early morning (midnight-6am) drive through the central areas. Roof down, heater on and the sound of the engine bouncing off empty streets..apart from that I can think of little but supercar spotting in Knightsbridge/Mayfair areas

The Classic Car Club @ Old St?

They're a nice bunch of guys there with some nice cars to look at.

From when I was a member - Fridays were pretty manic though.

Go looking in the Mews round Kensington and Mayfair and the likes?

They let blacks into the museum you know.

About the only place you can "stretch" first gear is Park Lane north bound. So any self respecting petrol head lets the engine howl coming out of the circle onto Park Lane, and its 40mph.

I enjoy driving over the Thames bridges. Just depends what time of day regarding traffic. Also, laaaaate night drive past all the sights.

Sorry, cant think of anything petrolhead to see, just these are what I find to do.

Whatever the ridiculous Veyron variant they have in the Bentley Showroom in Berkeley Square is worth seeing in the flesh.
Plus there's a Porsche showroom very close, Audi showroom on Piccadilly and is that McClaren F1 still in a window display on Park Lane - certainly Aston also have a showroom.
All 10-15 mins walk of each other.

Shame, because with Fiskens, Hexagon, Peter Bradfield, HR Owen Ferrari, Lamborghini London, HR Owen Specialist Cars, Bob Forstner and Jack Barclay Bentley (with Bugatti) all around that area of town you might miss seeing something that a petrolhead would be interested in.
