Boy racer car meets are ruining our lives - they're dangerous and we can't sleep

Locals in an exclusive part of central London have called for an end to "dangerous" car meets - which sees 'boy racers' descend in the middle of the night to rev their engines and do stunts.

The "reckless" drivers turn up every Sunday at around midnight in St James' Waterloo Place, it is claimed - less than a mile from Buckingham Palace.

Residents say petrolheads spend hours doing doughnuts, revving their "souped-up engines", and creating noise "so loud it sounds like an explosion".

Those living in the area say their lives have been made a misery - as they struggle to sleep and have been left stressed by the driving which they say is "an accident waiting to happen".

Others, who have filmed the meets so they can report them to the police, have been "intimidated" by the organisers, they claim.
