Overview
- On Tuesday, council contractors used a relocation truck to lift a blue Saudi‑registered Rolls‑Royce from Grosvenor Square and place it several streets away.
- Westminster said it has been “inundated” with complaints from residents about pavements blocked outside the five‑star Chancery Rosewood hotel.
- The council says penalty charge notices are largely ineffective because many offending cars are registered overseas, making recovery unlikely and fines negligible to owners.
- Other luxury vehicles parked on the footway were moved by their drivers after officers arrived, and officials say monitoring and further enforcement in Mayfair will continue.
- The action forms part of recurring crackdowns on supercar disorder in central London, including earlier joint operations that seized more than 60 high‑value vehicles.
