Two super excited boys woke this morning ready for adventure and shopping!
After the slight disappointment at not being able to properly see the Bugattis through the frosted glass, Brad emailed the dealer, HR Owen in Mayfair, and asked if there was any chance we could arrange to come in and view them. Success!! Art, the salesman, replied and was super pleased to hear of two young car enthusiasts, so agreed for us to visit the showroom by appointment. The boys were able to remove their face masks for photographs, however no touching of the two cars as they are owned by people! They are simply on display and when the owners wish to drive them, they are delivered to them then collected afterwards and returned to the showroom! Each car is on the market for £3 million!!!
In the UK there are only 20 Bugatti Veyrons and 15 Bugatti Chirons, two of the Veyrons are the ones that are on display that we saw, and they're the only two in London!
Our day started with a stroll through Borough Market before heading over the Millennium Bridge to St Paul's Cathedral to catch a taxi to Mayfair.
After our visit to the Bugatti showroom in Mayfair, we walked up Park Lane to the top of Oxford Street and wandered down here, before stopping at the Marlborough Head for a drink and bite to eat. From here down to the Disney Store, Oxford Circus then Hamleys. Cale was in Harry Potter heaven here with the Noble Collection Store within Hamleys, and super thrilled with his purchases - a Harry Potter wand and bookmark. Nico bought a Lego London Bus.
Down Regent Street after this to Trafalgar Street before heading to Chinatown for dinner. We took a stroll to Leicester Square past the Lego Pick-a-Brick store which was amazing, even for grown ups! There was a huge Big Ben made of Lego that even chimed, a big Leicester Square subway sign, the front end of a Lamborghini, and amazing wall art, all made out of Lego. Cale purchased the Harry Potter Night Bus here. Everything was so reasonably priced.
Walking through Leicester Square we passed the Odeon Theatre where all the movie premieres take place then on to Strand to catch a taxi to Kings Cross St Pancras station. Here we hoped to see the sign and trolley coming out of the wall for Platform 9 3/4 from Harry Potter, however it had been removed and the store was closed due to Covid-19. A few photos between platforms three and four, which is where the filming actually took place.
Another taxi from here back to our hotel for the night.
