Just discovered this channel on youtube


It's called Supercars of London. Can someone tell me what area of london these videos are being filmed in? Are Ferrari, Lambos, ect really common in London?

In these videos it's as though every 3 cars or so is Rolls, Lambo or Ferrari.
 
Is this a wind up thread?

Supercars are common on London. Hang around near any richer area like Park Lane, Knightsbridge or King's Road and you'll see a supercar or two. Seeing them come out of every direction is a bit organised. Maybe a few rich mates having some fun? And foreign plates on them.
 
Looks like it's filmed in a variety of places, mostly the west-end, that gold Ferrari/Lambo shot looks like it was filmed by Bloomsbury Square (on Great Russell Street). Hard to tell, and I can't quite make out the number on that bus which would help.

In these videos they probably edited out the 1,000,001 Fiat 500s, Minis and Taxis and just kept the videos with a "supercar" in "London" in it.

Otherwise it would be called "Cars of London" and would not be quite as interesting.

Yep - around these areas they are pretty much everywhere. Also outside Dorchester car park there's always Veyrons, SLRs, Ferraris, Lambos, Bentleys etc

It's where the super rich reside and hang out. It's also where the extremely rich arabs come to play. You can normally spot them as they have arab writing on there number plates.

Have a look at this thread:

New posts everyday of people spotting supercars in London.
 
I live up north (by london standards) in Nottingham and you hardly see any supercars up here. Don't you ever get chavs/car jackers going to the west end to try and steal these cars?

They did once, until they started turning up in wheely bins in bits. Don't pee in the tall grass with the big dogs or else you're likely to be chopped up, your family killed, your friends family killed and a fatwa on your pooch.
 
Supercars quickly become familiar to almost the extent of being boring in London. There are loads in most of the affluent areas.
 
Most supercars in London are driven by shapeshifting lizards so the local chavs know to keep clear anyway.
 
Plenty of nice cars parked up in equally nice houses' drives in Hampstead and around the Cockfosters area whenever I go visit my gf :)

Often see driveways with 2 or 3 Rolls Royces, a few RR Sports and then a handful of Lambo/Ferrari goodness - must be a decent party/BBQ if that's what the guests turn up in haha :D
 
I used to spend many an afternoon chilling out in Oriels on the corner of Sloane Square, literally every third car on a saturday afternoon was a lambo, ferrari, phantom etc. Mainly owned by Arabs who come over to london when dubai gets too hot during the summer to play and do a bit of shopping in Harrods, Bond Street and the like.
 
There's an Enzo that lives in Barnsley for god's sake.

Yep, Barnsley. Yep, Enzo.

Using that as baseline, the question of supercars being common in London doesn't even need to be asked.
