It's widely accepted that the first motor car journey on UK roads took place in June 1895. In the early days it was really only the wealthy who could take advantage of these marvellous new horseless carriages. It's no surprise then that the affluent areas of Mayfair and St James's featured prominently. As we soak up the unique atmosphere of these elegant parts of town, we'll hear about some of the early motoring pioneers who contributed to the growth of the motor car in the early 20th century. This is an ideal tour for car enthusiasts, but also those who simply want to discover this great city from a different perspective, and be entertained and amused along the way
I will meet you in Grosvenor Square, which is the starting point of our tour. During the tour we'll hear about: • The club where famous racing drivers and world champions used to meet to let their hair down, • The growth of the bespoke coach building industry • The finest luxury car salesman in the trade • A race across France between a Bentley and a steam train • Why an up-and-coming racing driver was shot dead by the last woman to be hanged in Britain • The car that took King Edward VIII to Windsor Castle to announce his abdication • London's first recorded incident of drink driving You don't have to be a car enthusiast to enjoy this stroll. The tour also gives you an opportunity to soak up the atmosphere in some of the most picturesque and sophisticated parts of central London.
