London’s social calendar gains one of its most refined fixtures this spring as Salon Privé London returns to the historic grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea from 16–18 April 2026, bringing with it an elegant fusion of world-class motoring, luxury lifestyle and quintessentially British garden-party glamour.
Following the success of its award-winning 20th anniversary celebrations at Blenheim Palace in 2025, Salon Privé’s London edition reaffirms its position as the capital’s leading prestige automotive showcase. Over three days, collectors, connoisseurs and enthusiasts will gather in one of London’s most distinguished settings to experience global vehicle debuts, rare classics, hypercars and immersive luxury brand experiences, all presented with Salon Privé’s signature sense of style.
Automotive prestige in the heart of London
Set against the architectural grandeur of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, Salon Privé London is designed to be as much a social occasion as an automotive one. The event blends cutting-edge engineering and design with fine dining, premium hospitality and curated retail, creating an experience that extends far beyond the cars themselves.
Organisers have confirmed that 2026 will feature an unrivalled programme of global new-model unveilings, with further announcements to follow closer to the event. These headline debuts will sit alongside an exceptional collection of hypercars, supercars and historically significant classics, ensuring that each day offers fresh discoveries for returning guests.
Among the confirmed automotive highlights are a dedicated Koenigsegg showcase, a striking hypercar display, and presentations of Maserati MC20, MC12, and Aston Martin Valhalla. The lawns will also host displays from Maserati Club UK, celebrating the marque’s enduring Italian heritage, while rotating exhibits and immersive brand activations ensure a constantly evolving experience throughout the three days. Automotive heritage will be firmly in focus, with the Lotus Drivers Club marking 50 years of the club, and Porsche Club GB celebrating its 65th anniversary with a special commemorative display, a reminder that Salon Privé’s appeal lies as much in its storytelling and legacy as in outright performance.
Three distinct days, three distinct experiences
Each day of Salon Privé London is carefully curated to offer its own character and appeal, allowing guests to tailor their visit to their interests.
