Cars on the Run If you are unable to join us at an official paddock, another great way to view these cars in all their glory is while they’ re on the move. We have listed some of our favourite viewing spots on the right. This year, the veteran cars will again be allocated one of two routes out of London between Westminster and Croydon, which is designed to ease congestion and speed their exit out of the capital. This also provides even more opportunities to view the cars on the road.
