    I was only there a few days, on the way back from my vacation including a Ferrari factory tour (read and see pics here: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=377045), but just walking around Mayfair, spotted these on the street. A 458 Italia, a Veyron, an Aventador, a McLaren, and several "lesser" cars. Maybe a random sampling error, but I didn't realize there were so many exotics running around London.

    Certainly not hijacking your thread but just adding to it since you raised the question.. just back from month in UK.. saw a couple of the following on the streets:

    - 599 on way to St Tropez rally.. lots of others followed but I got caught up with family group and missed them (458, muscle car etc etc)

    - Rolls and SLS near Westminster Abbey

    The only other exotic(s) I spotted were in Paris and got nice one of 458 with Arc De Triomphe in same frame..

    From what I've read on here some parts of London fairly teems with exotics, (I think I missed wherever that is!) esp Middle Eastern plates in summer it seems.. and not all well behaved either from some video postings..

    I saw this Daytona near Harrod's a few years ago and I routinely used to see a vintage Bentley R Type Continental parked on the street one block south of Oxford Street not too far from the Bond Street tube station.

    I love how the McLaren is just dumped on the pavement (sidewalk) - can't be sure but I think its the only one not on UK plates.....

    London is exceptional for cars. I was down the other week but didn't get the best chance to look around. Bentleys and Rolls Royce are pretty standard. As are modern V8 Ferraris. Usually some sort of hypercar will be seen at least once a week or more.
