Ace Cafe London

A Legendary Beginning (Since 1938)

Ace Cafe London first opened its doors in 1938 as a humble transport café, serving truck drivers along London’s North Circular Road. Its convenient location and 24-hour service quickly made it a popular pit stop for those on the road.

The Heart of Rock 'n' Roll and Motorcycle Culture

By the 1950s and 60s, Ace Cafe had transformed into a cultural hotspot — a gathering place for the Rockers, classic British motorcyclists known for their love of speed, style, and rock 'n' roll. With jukeboxes playing loud music and bikes racing between cafes, Ace Cafe became the symbol of an entire youth movement.

A Revival of Spirit and Steel

After closing in 1969, the café was lovingly restored and re-opened in the 1990s. Today, it stands as a tribute to its storied past while embracing a new generation of bikers, car lovers, and live music fans. It’s not just a café — it’s a destination for motoring enthusiasts from all over the world.

Events, Meets & Live Music

Ace Cafe hosts a packed calendar of events, from vintage car nights and bike meets to rockabilly concerts and themed gatherings. Whether you're a classic car owner, a superbike rider, or simply someone who loves the sound of an engine, there's always something happening at Ace.

More Than Just a Café

With its retro interiors, hearty meals, and buzzing atmosphere, Ace Cafe London offers more than food — it offers an experience. A true slice of British motoring culture, where stories are shared over coffee and history rides on every wheel.
