Some of the world’s most glamorous – and valuable - cars are rolling into London for what’s been dubbed the capital’s ‘ultimate automotive garden party’.
Staged on the sweeping lawns of one of the city’s most remarkable ‘hidden’ venues, the green oasis of the Honourable Artillery Company, the London Concours line-up, from June 9-11, will include an extraordinary collection of 120 rare performance cars, coveted classics, modern hypercars, reimagined icons and motorsport legends.
Set in the heart of the City, the Concours will bring together nine specially curated concours classes, displayed across the full three days of the show, with show-goers flying in from around the globe.
