London Calling
On our way to drive Bentleys through the Swiss Alps last week – of which much more later – we passed through Old Blighty and were once again awed by the sheer amount of automotive eye candy on display.
London is bristling with Bentleys, rife with Rolls-Royces, festooned with Ferraris and mired in Maseratis.

Of course being the UK there are plenty of old-school Range Rovers and such with bespoke touches like equestrian mascots which we always enjoy ogling as well.
Herewith a few highlights from our excursions around town to set the scene for the utterly sick Swiss extravaganza coming your way.
Above, a Bentley Continental Flying Spur awaits its well-heeled owner outside the Dunhill shop in Jermyn Street, ground zero for natty gentlemen.
Read on for more, and don’t forget to tuck your tongue back in….
