Excerpt: The Ace Cafe London is an old transport cafe in Stonebridge, London, England. It is a notable venue in motorcycle culture. History It opened in 1938 to accommodate traffic on the new North Circular Road. Because the cafe was open 24 hours a day, it started to attract motorcyclists. It became popular with Rockers in the 1950s and 60s.The cafe was rebuilt in 1949 after being destroyed in a World War II air raid. The building is close to the Willesden railway marshalling yard, target of the raid. Events in the post-war environment made the Ace a success: the emergence of the teenager; increase in traffic; and the British motorcycle industry at its peak. Many young people started to meet at the cafe with their motorcycles and listen to rock'n'roll. Many bands and motorcycle enthusiast groups formed there. The cafe closed in 1969 and the building became a tyre sales and fitting shop. Rocker Reunions and refurbishmentFollowing the success of the Rocker Reunion movement, started by an original 59 Club member Len Paterson which had attracted as many as 12,000 revivalists, the Cafe was refurbished and reopened in 2001. Rockers and motorcyclists from all over the world go to the Ace to share stories, fix bikes and see the legend. No longer a 24-hour restaurant, the cafe now has a programme of classic and sports car gatherings. It is also approved for weddings and civil partnerships. Film and media The Ace Cafe was immortalised as a location of the 1964 film Leather Boys, Sidney J. Furie 's notable British "kitchen sink " drama.
