Visiting London

Hi All,

My wife and I will be visiting London for 10 days over Christmas. We are planning to do typical things while there such as Tea at the Goring, The Eye, We Will Rock You etc.

We may rent a car for a day or 2 and drive the countryside (recommends on hire cars welcome, always wanted t spend some time in an Elise). I am wondering what sort of automotive-focused activities/events may be worth taking in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Steve

 

Its worth looking back over recent threads for ideas

It looks like many experience type things will shut for the break so no Lotus driving at Silverstone for instance

You won't need a car around London only if you go outside and then its probably best to stick to the majors

Come back with more specifics for better advice

 

I was thinking along the lines of automotive related museums etc. I know there're certainly some dealerships worth visiting along Park Lane.

 

It's certainly less car-active in winter.

Also many dealerships in South Kensington area

 

Beaulieu motor museum worth a visit not far from london and stay at goodwood hotel near the race circuit thats fun,would recommend visit to brooklands mercedes world great hotel there free entrance to the main mercedes world where you can get some great passenger rides etc from just £30.00.Brooklands is very near london and if you can get there on a saturday they have a great lunchtime display by amg's which is a little tacky but enjoyable.Hope this helps Simon

 

Brooklands have an event on 1st Jan if you are still here then.
Events 01/01/2014 - Brooklands Museum

 

The pound off entry will definitely persuade folk out of bed on New Year's Day !!!

 

Park in Mercedes world or hotel car park for free and walk across to museum

 

Thanks for the suggestions. We will be in London on NY Day so will have to take this in!

 

PM me when you're here and if its snowing we'll take the FF out

 

Why not park in the museum car park? Its also free.
