In and Around London... The London Motorcycle Museum

Monday is mute on the London Walks Blog (well, almost mute) – because Monday is the day when we post five images captured in and around London by London Walks Guides, London Walkers and Facebook friends. Collated on a theme or an area, if you've got some great shots of our capital and want to join in send your pictures to the usual address. A very pleasant surprise last Monday, while walking the Capital Ring on a day off, was to stumble upon the London Motorcycle Museum. Even for a non-petrol head such as I, this modest museum at South Greenford, was a treasure. And a great welcome, too. The museum has no funding, and is run by a dedicated bunch whose classic British motorbikes form the bulk of the collection. Entry is £5 and a cup of tea is free – although they do ask for a donation for Cancer Research. As I said, nice guys – the museum is unfunded yet instead of raising money for themselves they're doing it for others. They are open Saturday, Sunday and Monday and their website is at www.london-motorcycle-museum.org. You can follow them on Facebook HERE.




A London Walk costs £9 – £7 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com.
