This event is set against the backdrop of the iconic Paternoster Square, just a stone's throw from St Paul's Cathedral, providing an unparalleled setting for this unique showcase.

For the first time ever, we will be hosting a display of three unique electric vehicles, each exemplifying the latest advancements in automotive technology and sustainable mobility.

Our display will include:
