Veteran car run comes to Lambeth streets

The London to Brighton Veteran Car Run takes place each year to celebrate the anniversary of the raising of the speed limit – in 1896 – for 'light locomotives' from 4 miles per hour to the breathtaking speed of 14 miles per hour and the abolition of the requirement for these vehicles to be preceded by a man on foot.
