The cosmopolitan metropolis that is London is famed for its history, culture and streets paved with gold, or as Flickr user StreetcarsL has discovered, exotics and supercars. The cost of living in the capital has never been higher, yet those at the top of the food chain come here in their droves, buying up property with their soon-to-be-worthless Euros and investing in the finest the automotive world has to offer so they can crawl through the traffic at average speeds of no more than 12mph.

Head to central London and whether you set of north towards the Georgian mansion flats that surround Regents Park, west to uber-riche Knightsbridge, south to leafy Wimbledon or East to Dockland's financial hub, you are going to see sexy supercars cruising the streets and parked up beside multi-million-pound homes. Captured in the capital, we have a white Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, grey silver Maserati Quattroporte, Turquoise Blue Maserati, 2012 Porsche Carrera S, Nissan GTR in matte black, a pink SLS AMG, Bentley Continental GT Supersport in Metallic Pink, Ferrari California F458 and FF, Rolls Royce Ghost, and a Bentley Break val d'ISERE.
