Sunday 10th December
Depart 11.00 am
One week before the annual Xmas Toy Run, meeting at Ace Cafe to depart at 11am, is the annual ride out to attend the Mayhew Animal Home in Kensal Rise, NW10. Established during the reign of Queen Victoria in 1886, the home is entirely funded by, and dependent upon, public support.
Being the season for giving, we must not forget the animals, so often overlooked and neglected, and which entirely rely on places like "The Mayhew" and the generosity and support of all.
The Mayhew welcomes gifts, to include towels, blankets (used as bedding) as well as pet food and treats for cats and dogs.
Private donations can also be made on your visit to the Mayhew. You may even find a furry friend that you may wish to adopt!
For those of you who can't make the run, there will be collecting tins on the counter and a collection box for food, treats and bedding etc. at the cafe in the week leading up to the run.

Check out the Ace Cafe London shop for a wide range of Xmas gifts, including the critically acclaimed ‘Ace Times, Speed thrills and tea spills, a cafe and a culture” book, which relates and illustrates the definitive history of London’s Ace Cafe, a roadside pull-in that opened in 1938 and became a famous haunt of the motorcycle-riding ‘Ton Up Kids’ in the 50’s and the Rockers in the 60’s. The book also tells the story of other venues and cafes, like the 59 Club, the Busy Bee and others elsewhere around the country.
A substantial high quality hardback publication, packed with personal recollections and evocative photographs, Ace Times also features the fastest motorcycles, the loudest music, the iconic movies and the distinctive clothing and styles of the cafe racing era. Burn ups, press hysteria, rock n’ roll riots, police baiting, Mods and Rockers, pirate radio, and loads more besides, all unambiguously revealed.
