London – The Supercar Capital

London is revealed to have the most supercars in the world, with studies showing that the city has more flash vehicles line the streets than capitals such as New York, Moscow and LA. So, if you are a fan of spotting supercars, it may be worth taking a trip down to the big smoke. In this blog, we have mapped out some of the top places to visit if you want to go supercar spotting. We also discuss some of our favourite supercars to drive around the city if you want  to turn heads. 

Supercar Spotting in London

London is a city overflowing with glamour and wealth. How better to showcase this than through driving a supercar? However, driving a supercar around London should not just be for the privileged few. Perhaps you are interested in renting a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder for the day, or maybe you are just content with spotting a Rolls-Royce Wraith. Whatever the case may be, there are countless ways to appreciate these vehicles, including social media pages dedicated to spotting supercars around London. For the best chance of spotting a supercar in the flesh, head down to the following places around London and keep your eyes peeled:

Harrods, Knightsbridge

This world famous department store is a renowned shopping destination for the rich and famous. Inside, you will discover supercar drivers browsing designer goods before heading back to their vehicles. For best results, walk along the stretch outside Harrods and listen out for the sound of engines ferociously roaring in the distance. 

Sloane Street, Knightsbridge

Internationally recognised as one of the world’s most exclusive and luxurious shopping destinations, it is not uncommon to see supercars cruising along Sloane Street. This area even hosts its very own annual Supercar Sunday, commencing on 14th July 2019. Last year, the event saw over 500 cars, making it a haven for all supercar fanatics. Coined as the ‘biggest car meet of the summer for supercars,’ this is an event not to be missed. 

The Park Tower Hotel, Knightsbridge

Situated within the heart of one of London’s most exclusive areas, The Park Tower Hotel is a prime location to spot supercars belonging to the hotel’s wealthy visitors. If you have your own supercar, why not park it amongst the others in the carpark and indulge in a spot of afternoon tea at the hotel? With tea, cakes, scones and champagne, the Park Tower Hotel is home to the best afternoon tea in London.

The Dorchester, Mayfair

As one of the most prestigious hotels in London, you are likely to spot a range of Lamborghinis and Rolls-Royces belonging to the guests parked out. Even if you are not treating yourself to a luxurious night sleep at the Dorchester, it is still a great place to go if you are on the hunt for an impressive supercar sighting for your Instagram.

Kensington Palace Gardens

This upscale neighbourhood has some of the most expensive properties in London (with the average being £35 million). With expensive property often comes expensive cars. If you are a supercar lover, why not take a gentle stroll along this street and admire the stunning property whilst you are there.
