For nearly two decades, RM Sotheby’s has stood at the forefront of the United Kingdom’s luxury car scene — its annual London auction now an institution in its own right that graces the capital’s event calendar. From pre-war legends to latest supercars, the sale is a celebration of design, innovation, and the everlasting appeal of automotive excellence. In 2024, the auction found a new home at The Peninsula London. Officially inaugurated earlier that summer, it offers a suitable stage for machines of such provenance. The hotel’s stately architecture, impeccable service and prime position overlooking Hyde Park provided a setup that matched the occasion. The result was an event that benchmarked the lineup and sale.
