Any good car museums in London?

[Sean Roth]

I am in London now, near Hyde park. I don't leave until Friday morning. I would like to see some car stuff if there is anything close. I don't have a car, I am just here on a layover.

Hi Sean,

Don't live in the ' The Big Smoke ' myself but only 30 miles up the M1 so have been down there a lot,

There are a couple just outside London, like one at Haynes -

Brooklands is a bit far out for you at a guess but very good with planes too and right next door to Mercedes world.

But within London although not a car museum as such but does contain ' mechanical stuff ' The Science Museum ' is worth a visit and a tube ride away.

If buses do it for you then at Covent Garden, worth a visit itself with street performers and Punch And Judy pub for a swift pint or two [;)], then there is London Transport Museum, only a tube ride away from where you are, don't be tempted to leave the station by step there over a 150 !!! use the very crowded lift or stay on to Charing Cross and walk round the corner -

Shame not here next week as there is Classic Car night at the Ace Café on Tuesday and will poss. be there myself if it ever stops raining !

Enjoy your stay,

Cheers John
