Prince Charles is planning to shut off The Mall in London for a car show of environmentally friendly vehicles.
The Prince of Wales’s Start festival will run from 5-15 September, celebrating sustainable lifestyles and including “everything from buildings and gardens to food”, according to Roger Saul, the man in charge of the motoring exhibits.
The event will kick off with a ‘race’ from Glasgow to London between the Prince’s train (run on recycled chip fat) and a fleet of clean cars.
Entry to the Start festival is £15, but the car display in The Mall on 12 September is free.

I agree. But that is reason to berate the planning system rather than insisting that all modern or contemporary architecture is rubbish.
Gehry- there's an ego that warranted freedom of expression.
I think we're in the wrong forum LA......
Re: Prince Charles plans motor show
I'm aware of that LA-unfortunately, not all contributors are as enlightened as you about the difference between subjectivity and objectivity. It is placed in my signature in the hope that the truly stupid might someday be inspired to consider that their opinion is not necessarily fact.
I'm going to take that on face value and assume that you're not taking the P155 LA. I am really impressed with the New Dance & Music Centre in The Hague. Have you seen it? It's like sheets of paper floating down to form a stack. Quite brilliant and utterly contextual.
Heaven forbid.
