  2. EV Owners Meet

    Posted on

    Saturday 18th May
    9am – 5pm
     
    Ace Cafe London celebrates electric motive power from 9am to 5pm on Saturday 18th May 2023, hosting the cafes annual Electric Vehicle Owners Meet.

    Dating from 1827 when Hungarian priest Ányos Jedlik built the first viable electric motor,  the folowing year he used it to power a small car and, at the Stanley Cycle Show in 1896 in London, England, bicycle manufacturer Humber exhibited an electric tandem bicycle.

    In 1897, electric cars first found commercial use as taxis in Britain and in the United States. In London, Walter Bersey's electric cabs were the first self-propelled vehicles for hire at a time when cabs were horse-drawn.

     The electric vehicle fleet peaked at approximately 30,000 vehicles at the turn of the 20th century  including the iconic British milk float.  For most of the 20th century, the UK was the world's largest user of electric road vehicles.
     
    EV riders/drivers may wish to note that there is a Charge Point at the Ace

  5. Record Store Day 2024

    Posted on

    Saturday 20th April

    Record Store Day is a day for the people who make up the world of the record shop - the staff, the customers, the artists, the labels - to come together and honour the special role they have in communities. In the UK, over 270 shops participate in every corner of the country.

    While there's only one Record Store Day a year, organisers work hard throughout the year to shine a light on all the amazing people in record shops and the special and exclusive releases artists and labels create to support them.

    As a part of this unique culture, Ace Cafe London celebrates the link established in the 1950’s between a jukebox playing rock n’ roll and personal transport. For young Brit kids this was a motorbike, and the Ace Cafe was home to these new machines and their soundtracks – the Ton Up kids and the cafe racer had arrived!
    Love it live & treasure it forever, on vinyl!
