This fall, The Peninsula London is offering a special program as part of London Motor Week that brings together car enthusiasts, collectors, and distinguished guests. Spanning from the return of RM Sotheby’s prestigious London auction to a special accommodation experience for participants in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, the program celebrates the automotive world’s timeless aesthetics, superior engineering, and rich heritage.
The Peninsula’s strong connection to automobiles stands out as an integral part of the hotel’s guest experience.

The hotel also welcomes automotive enthusiasts throughout the year with its “Drivers & Dim Sum” gatherings held in The Courtyard.
