London Motor Museum, Automobile museum in Hayes, England
The London Motor Museum was an automobile museum in Hayes featuring a collection of over 160 vehicles spanning several decades. The exhibits mainly showcased cars from the 1960s through 1980s, illustrating how car design evolved across those eras.
The museum was founded in 2012 by former model Elo King and presented a view of 20th-century automobile design. After six years of operation, it closed in 2018 due to financial disagreements with local authorities.
The collection displayed notable vehicles from films and television shows, including a Batmobile and the Ford Gran Torino from Starsky & Hutch. These cars attracted visitors interested in experiencing cinema history directly.
The museum was accessible via Hayes & Harlington station, which provided direct transport connections from central London. Visitors could therefore reach it conveniently from different parts of the city.
After closing in 2018, the vehicles from the collection were dispersed to different automobile institutions across the United Kingdom. This scattered the once-unified private collection, with individual cars now located in separate places.
