This November Hyde Park will
host the traditional London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. The car race is run on
the first Sunday of November every year and has been running for several
decades now. For a car to qualify it must have been built before 1905. The race
starts from London’s Hyde Park and finishes 60 miles later at the sea front
Brighton.
If you want to watch these
spectacular cars at their best then you want to be their early. Many visitors
for the race will be travelling down the night before. If you are participating
in the races or coming to watch the start as a spectator supporting the great
world of motoring sports then why not come early and make a full weekend of it?
The Leonard Hotel is ideally
situated walking distance from Hyde Park. You will be able to enjoy the whole weekend
in London, relaxing in a luxury boutique hotel, take in the sights, before
taking a short walk to the engineering magnificent of the motor car.
This year will be the first time
in 117 years of the run that there will be points awarded and a competitive element
will be introduced.
For many of the vehicles
just being able to get from start to finish is a reward in itself, however this
year there will points and awarded.
So if you want to ensure
that you are there when we make history in the motoring world then make sure
you stay in a hotel near Hyde Park. You don’t want to be late and miss the
start of the race.
Ideally you want to be able
to stroll out of bed have a fabulous breakfast before having a short walk, where
you can marvel at the fine classic cars, the Léon Bollée, Duryea and the
Panhard & Levassor before they start.
