Ace Cafe

Located in London’s Ace Corner, North Circular Road Stonebridge, the ACE Cafe London is one of the world’s most renowned places when it comes to motorcycles, classic cars and rock and roll. The ACE Cafe has put Stonebridge on the map as it has gathered people ranging from 18 to a 100 for more than six decades. Whether you are a bike enthusiast, a rock and roll fan, or simply enjoy having a beer with your friends at the bar, this is the place to be. The cafe has also opened a gift shop selling memorabilia that ranges from bandanas, books and jackets, to beer mugs. So if you are a tourist passing by, taking a picture and getting a souvenir is always an option. Among its unique characteristics, the ACE Cafe restricts car park access to pre-1984 vehicles, in order to avoid a car park full of everyday modern cars giving the front of the place an ‘old school atmosphere’. The cafe has a really well-tailored website that provides visitors a lot of information, the website can also be seen both in Japanese and German languages; the cafe is really famous in Japan –which is odd as Japan has also been a car-loving country- so it is common to see Japanese tourists shopping at the cafe’s gift shop.

The food

At ACE Cafe, food is as legendary as the cafe itself, the menu offers a wide variety of basic meals – every breakfast under the sun, sausage, chips, beans, egg, gammon, steak, beef burger – and then the surprise on the specials board – steamed pudding, curry, stew, – and make no mistake, big portions, cheap, plenty of booze, or soft drinks / tea/ coffee if you’re riding have always been the café’s trademark. Do not skip the chance to try their Nachos, which are said to be the best in town!

Events

The first Ace Cafe Reunion was held in 1994, attracting 12,000 people. The following annual reunions, known as “Ace Days”, took place on : Brighton’s famous Madeira Drive. The original Ace site couldn’t accommodate the rising numbers of visitors. Over 25,000 enthusiastic riders celebrated Ace Day in 1997. As stated, large scale events attract up to 25,000 riders – quite a sight when they take on the road.

In case you are not in town by the time thousands of riders hit the road -there have been more than 20,000 in some reunions-, there’s also car nights, scooter nights (yes, scooter nights), and any given weekend there’s always at least one event, at least one band in the night, and at least one ride out which makes the ACE Cafe a place that you cannot miss if you visit London. They also have their events scheduled on their website, so you can always get access to what’s going on in this London’s legendary corner.

Having Survived WWII, the ACE Cafe is here to stay, passing the tradition from one generation to another and reviving the hog rock scene anytime a new customer comes in and comes out a friend! Its opening hours are: Mon to Sat 7:00 – 23:00, Sun & Good Friday 7:00 – 22:30, on Live Music Nights the opening hours are 7:00 – 2:00. There are many ways to get to ACE Cafe in case you are not driving, from underground stations: Stonebridge Park Tube (7 minutes), and Alperton Tube (21 minutes) or via railway stations Stonebridge Park Railway Station (7 minutes) or Harlesden Railway Station (22 minutes)
