This autumn, The Peninsula London celebrates London Motor Week with a distinguished program of automotive experiences, bringing together collectors, enthusiasts and guests to honor the enduring artistry of the motor car. From the return of RM Sotheby's flagship London auction to an exclusive stay designed for participants in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, the hotel offers a series of experiences inspired by exceptional engineering, timeless design and automotive heritage.
The Peninsula's longstanding affinity with the automobile is woven throughout the guest experience. From its fleet of bespoke luxury vehicles, commissioned exclusively for the hotel, to architectural and design details that draw inspiration from precision engineering and streamlined craftsmanship, the spirit of motoring is an enduring part of The Peninsula London. Throughout the year, the hotel also welcomes enthusiasts to its popular Drivers & Dim Sum car meet, a celebration of remarkable automobiles hosted in The Courtyard.

RM Sotheby's London Auction at The Peninsula London Auction: October 31, 4pm – 6pm
Returning to The Peninsula London for its third year, RM Sotheby's flagship London auction once again takes place at the heart of London Motor Week. Established as a highlight of the UK's collector car calendar, the sale presents an exceptional selection of historically significant and highly sought-after automobiles to an international audience of collectors and enthusiasts.
Held in partnership with The Royal Automobile Club and preceding the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, the auction brings together automotive heritage, exceptional provenance and world-class collecting in one of the world's leading cultural capitals.
A Destination for Motoring Enthusiasts, Throughout the Year
The Peninsula's connection with the automobile spans almost a century. It began in Hong Kong, where the hotel commissioned what was then the world's largest single order of Rolls-Royce Phantoms, establishing a tradition of exceptional guest transportation that continues to define the Peninsula arrival experience today.
At The Peninsula London, this legacy is reflected in a fleet of fourteen bespoke luxury vehicles, finished in the marque's signature Peninsula Green. The collection includes Rolls-Royce Phantom IIs, Bentley Bentaygas, a BMW i7, LEVC electric taxis and two heritage vehicles: a 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Sedanca de Ville and a beautifully restored Austin 7 Taxi.
The hotel's celebration of motoring culture extends beyond its fleet. On the eighth floor, Brooklands Bar and Brooklands by Claude Bosi draws inspiration from Britain's rich aviation and motorsport history, with interiors, culinary storytelling and sweeping views that pay homage to the pioneering spirit of Brooklands Museum in Surrey.
