London is the capital city of the United Kingdom. The town has a rich past, and it still has numerous historical buildings and monuments. It hosts the last race of the [[World Grand Prix]].
This [[London Circuit|race track]] passes, as for the two other races, on the streets of the host town, in this case notably borrowing the Mall, and getting in front of [[Buckingham Palace]].

==Trivia==
*[[File:Capture_plein_écran_2011-06-17_073912.jpg|thumb]]An advertisement for "[[Lassetyre|LasseTyre]]" is seen around the World Grand Prix race track. The brand's name is a play on the last name of [[John Lasseter]], and happen to be the same as for [[John Lassetire]]'s last name.
*The dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral is shaped like a car’s differential gear casing.
*Big Ben is renamed Big Bentley in Cars 2, and is made up of Bentley grilles and hood ornaments. Production Designer [[Harley Jessup]] added that "In order to make it fit into the Cars world, we scaled it up about 250 percent — even the clockworks, which would actually fit in a conference room, were scaled up by at least 50 times their normal size."
*The Latin inscription below the clock dial on Big Bentley reads “God Salvage Crown Victoria the First” – a reference to the Ford Crown Victoria.
*The Lucite canopy over the Queen’s platform is based on the canopy built for Prince Charles’ investiture as the Prince of Wales.
*The architecture of the race pits in London is based on Landau bars, a design feature used on cars to simulate the look of a convertible.
*For the London race course, [[Pixar]] had to create nearly 20 miles of landscape and environment.
*The fight between the Lemons and Mater and his friends takes place at the intersection of Tyre Iron Street and Sixth Gear Road.
*A road is named "Lasseter Way".
*In the movie, Tower Bridge is named Tyre Bridge.
*The knighting room is decorated with "car-ified" ancient paintings, featuring notably a battle of sailing ships.
*The tie-in storybooks for some reason showed Holley Shiftwell's escape from Big Bentley as showing her smashing apart an entire clock face. In the actual film, Holley only smashed away the "5."
*In the film, Trafalgar is renamed Trafalgear, and Piccadilly Circus is renamed Petroldilly Circus.
*In the comic, Acer and Grem were thrown into a garbage truck instead of Ye Left Turn Inn.
