  2. Ton Up Day!

    Posted on

    The link was 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 cafe racer had arrived!

    Come along and celebrate the 20th anniversary this year of the Ace, having fully re-opened in 2001, at the cafe’s annual Ton Up Day on Sunday 7th November and listen, revel and be immersed in a mix of the best rock and roll and rockabilly, blended with the London sub-culture sounds, broadcasting 24/7 on Ace Cafe Radio.

  3. ULEZ - Ace Cafe London is NOT in the Zone!

    Posted on

    On 25 October 2021, the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) expanded from central London up to (but not including) the North Circular and South Circular roads.

    The new zone is 18 times the size of the central London zone and now covers 3.8 million people.

    The ULEZ is central to the Mayor of London’s plans to improve Londoners’ health. It will clean up the city’s toxic air, which leads to the early deaths of thousands of people every year.

    Most vehicles driving in the ULEZ must meet tight emission standards or pay the daily charge.

    The ULEZ is in effect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year round (except Christmas Day).

    To check whether your vehicle is liable to the ULEZ charge look here

    To check on individual post codes look here.

    Ace Cafe London is NOT within the ULEZ - but if you travel to or from the Ace Cafe from within the North Circular or South Circular Road , you could be liable to pay.
