London Concours 2025: Celebrating Speed, Design and Distinction in the Heart of the Capital

Set against the backdrop of 500 years of military history, the London Concours has developed a reputation for more than just rare automotive displays. It has become a stage for cultural refinement, technical achievement, and the shared passions of those who live and breathe design, performance, and craftsmanship.

From 3rd to 5th June 2025, the historic Honourable Artillery Company grounds in the City of London will once again host one of the UK's most prestigious automotive and lifestyle events: the London Concours. Recognised as the capital’s most elegant garden party for cars, this year’s show culminates in a special celebration of performance engineering, The Need for Speed — Supercar Day, bringing together the most thrilling road-going machines of the last forty years.

The Rise of the London Concours

Since its founding in 2017, the London Concours has grown from a niche gathering of enthusiasts into a world-class event. Unlike many concours d’elegance that reside in private estates or countryside settings, the London Concours stands apart in both location and character. Nestled within the walls of the Honourable Artillery Company, the event presents an astonishing contrast: priceless cars surrounded by skyscrapers and centuries-old architecture.

Over the years, the Concours has honoured iconic marques, cutting-edge design, and forward-thinking craftsmanship. Previous editions have celebrated everything from pre-war classics and coachbuilt rarities to concept cars and design studies. The event is always carefully curated, with cars grouped into themed classes that offer both variety and cohesion. It is this thoughtful approach, along with a distinctly British atmosphere, that has earned it a place alongside the best events on the global concours calendar.

The 2025 Highlight: The Need for Speed

The final day of this year’s Concours, Thursday 5th June, focuses exclusively on supercars and hyper-performance models. Titled The Need for Speed — Supercar Day, the display will span over 50 remarkable vehicles from the past four decades, with selections chosen not only for their speed, but for their impact on automotive design, innovation, and popular culture.

Classics such as the Ferrari Testarossa and Lamborghini Diablo will share the lawn with more recent icons like the McLaren P1, Koenigsegg Jesko, and Bugatti Chiron. The day will showcase how the definition of a supercar has evolved, from raw, analogue machines to technologically advanced marvels that marry carbon fibre construction with hybrid powertrains and cutting-edge aerodynamics.

Beyond static display, Supercar Day is also a social occasion. Visitors will mingle with owners, designers, collectors and motorsport personalities, all of whom share an appreciation for the art and theatre of high performance. With live music, luxury retail exhibitors, and gourmet hospitality all on offer, the experience is immersive and memorable.

A Cultural Experience as Much as a Car Show

London Concours isn’t limited to automotive interests. The event attracts a discerning audience from the worlds of luxury fashion, horology, fine art, interior design, and architecture. For many guests, the cars are as much about inspiration and aesthetics as they are about speed.

Among the curated exhibitors are leading brands in eyewear, apparel, timepieces and home furnishings, often showcasing limited-edition or event-exclusive collections. For connoisseurs of design, this cross-pollination of disciplines makes the London Concours unique. Where else can one admire the minimalist styling of a Ferrari 296 GTB alongside sculptural furniture or handmade Italian leather goods?
