Astons from Kensington to Knightsbridge

[Zuman]

My wife and I have been visiting our daughter, who is studying at King's College in London. We've been staying at the Park International Hotel on Cromwell Road in Kensington (we're from the U.S.), and today we walked from the hotel to Harrods, then back through Hyde Park. Along the way we saw a black DB9 Volante, a grey V8V, two different (I think they were different...) grey NP Vanquishes, a silver V8V, a silver V12V, and a silver Gaydon Vanquish.
Is that typical density? In a major U.S. city I'd be surprised to see two Astons in an equivalent time and distance!

you're in prime Aston Martin (Gaydon era) territory there. Move 10 miles further out and they become a rare car.

(And then move to Europe and you'll be lucky to see any unless you're somewhere like Monaco)

Or move to the North East of England and see next to none at all!

I have a dealer three mile away from me and yet the amount of Astons I see in the wild in a year I can count on less than the fingers on one hand.

There is a dealership in Mayfair and an independant service centre in Kensington. Plus lots of Astons in London generally. If you' been here 6-8 weeks ago you would have seen all the Arabs over with all their cars.

They was a high profile screening of Spectre at the Mayfair Curzon cinema last night which included the DB10 tour. Im sure it had something to do with that and various Aston's dispersing from the event.

You will see some about there for sure. As has been said with the Bond premier, that'll add a few. Usually I see 1/2 when wandering around there at the weekend. Move 4 miles in any direction from there and you won't see that many.

Four miles North and you'll see loads.

Move 10-14 miles South West into Surrey and you'll see even more than London
