On Occasion of the cafe's annual Overland & Adventure Bike Day, Sunday 23rd March, Steph Jeavons will be departing the Ace on a solo overland adventure, riding a Honda CRF250L, with the aim to become the first British woman to circumnavigate the globe - 6 continents are required to accomplish this record!
Steph will also attempt to become the first British person (and on the 5th person to ever) circumnavigate the globe via all 7 continents solo on a motorbike - this means a trip to Antarctica, relying on the support of research vessels to transport her from Chile, South America.
As well as "waving off" Steph, also joining us at the cafe on this day, are a host of intrepid travellers to include Sam Manicom, Lois Pryce, Austin Vince, Dom Giles and Graham Field, together with stands and displays by KTM, Jack Lilley Triumph, Brubeck UK, Metzeler, Adventure Peru, Tours on Two Wheels and James Cargo Services, to name just a few!

Crazy Cavan & The Rhythm Rockers - March with the Teds!
Rare London Appearance
Saturday 8th March
9pm - 2am
Entry £15 Door (£12 Advance Booking)
Sorry no under 18s
With their unique, long established, distinct and recognisable sound, first heard as far back as 1964, combining with a reputation for being "wild", Ace Cafe London's annual "March of the Teds" features, 50 years on, the ever unrivalled Crazy Cavan & The Rhythm Rockers.
The Daily Mail, announcing the birth of the Teds 60 years ago, reported on 27.4.54 that "Cinemas, dance halls and other places of entertainment in south east London are closing their doors to youths in "Edwardian" suits because of gang hooliganism...The ban, which week by week is becoming more generally applied, is believed by the police to be one of the main reasons for the extension of the area in which fights... between bands of teenagers can now be anticipated..."
Pretty much the same was written ten years later in 1964 - the Rockers!
It's called rock n' roll - see it, hear it and enjoy it, Live!
The evening includes opportunity to win a range of prizes including two pairs of tickets to attend the cafe's forthcoming Eddie Cochran Tribute Night on Saturday 12th April, along with an Ace 75th anniversary goodie pack and copies of Vintage Rock magazine.
To be in with a chance of winning, retain your entry raffle ticket. Draw to be held on the evening.
