Prince Charles’ eco motor show

21st July 2010

The Prince of Wales is bringing eco cars to London. As part of his 12-day ‘Garden Party to make a Difference’, the Prince will line up a host of environmentally friendly vehicles on The Mall.

The event is being held as part of the Start initiative, which is part of the Prince's Charities Foundation aimed at helping people across the UK “lead more sustainable lives and to show what a more energy efficient, cleaner and healthier future could look like.”

Featuring music, comedy and environmental displays, the Start event will begin with a race between a fleet of eco cars and the Prince’s train which runs on recycled chip fat. The route runs from Glasgow to London.

The Prince is opening up his own gardens at Clarence House, together with his neighbours' gardens at Lancaster House and Marlborough House from September 8th to 19th. Entry to the gardens costs £15, but the eco car display is free.
