Stonehenge is older. The Natural History Museum has more… history. But an abandoned blue car by the A617 between Mansfield and Newark-on-Trent has become Britain’s hottest tourist spot – with 14 five-star reviews on Google. One critic noted the “subtle draping of ‘Police Aware’ tape is a stark contrast with the vehicle position, illustrating the ‘Driver Unaware’ of the ditch”. They added: “Modern art at its finest.”

A mysterious road sign in south London with directions to California has finally been corrected after 15 years. The bizarre sign in Southwark tells drivers which lane to go into if they’re heading to Malibu or Laurel Canyon. A similar sign on the opposite side of the road points drivers to lanes for the actual London destinations of Rotherhithe and Peckham, a little less glamorous than their Los Angeles counterparts, which is home to the rich and famous.
