Window Shopping: Lamborghini-London
By Gunnar Heinrich | IMG Lamborghini-London.com
LAMBORGHINI-LONDON is one of the UK capital’s many great candy stores.
When yours interned for the Shadow Leader of the House eight summers ago, not a workday went by when, on my way to Westminster via South Kensington station, I wouldn’t pass by the glass display full of raging bulls.
The Lambo dealer is situated quite literally across Old Brompton Road from the tube entry. An RBS, of all institutions, stands right next door for financial convenience.
In the evenings, the showroom is typically lit with automated lights that are synchronized to highlight different cars at different times. Unlike so many other exclusive dealerships, Lamborghini-London (true to form) invites you to gawk in gape-mouthed wonder.
And so I did. Day in and night out. Wouldn’t you?
Which is why I share this little West End warm spot with our London readers squarely in mind. According to Google Analytics, London ranks number one metropolis worldwide in traffic to this website; narrowly eclipsing New York.
LA, you’re a distant third, BTW.
So thank you, London!
Oh, and FYI: nearby there’s a Kulu Kulu at 39 Thurloe Place. It’s a great stop for fresh sushi that’s served in true metro-Japanese style – via conveyor belt and color coded dishes.
