Christmas Toy Run & Carol Service
Next dates
Ace Cafe London's Christmas Toy Run returns this December, with motorcyclists setting off on a festive ride to support children in hospital. It's a chance to see the bikes gathering at the cafe before their 10.30am departure, with a separate Christmas Carol Service taking place that evening. Two very different ways to mark Christmas at one of London's best-known biker meeting spots.

Christmas Toy Run at 10.30am
The morning starts with Ace Cafe London's annual Christmas Toy Run, when motorcyclists gather before setting off at 10.30am.
The event has traditionally involved riders delivering Christmas presents to children's hospital wards, helping bring a little Christmas cheer to children spending the festive season in hospital.
For families interested in motorbikes, the gathering before departure is the part to look out for. There's also the opportunity to support the charitable side of the event, although the organisers haven't yet confirmed the gift requirements for 2026.
Christmas Carol Service at 7pm
The celebrations continue back at Ace Cafe London in the evening, with the annual Christmas Carol Service starting at 7pm.
It's a separate event from the morning ride, so you don't need to plan around both if you're only interested in one.
Donating Christmas presents
In previous years, the Toy Run has collected presents for children in hospital, with requests for toys, LEGO, arts and crafts sets and other gifts.
The 2026 donation instructions haven't yet been confirmed, so check with Ace Cafe London before buying or wrapping presents.
