A Unique Experience

The LMM - London’s only motorcycle museum - is the capital’s friendly focus for Britain’s biking history and heritage.

Not only do we have some 80 machines and other exhibits on permanent display – we have another 50/60 machines in reserve, and a knowledgeable staff with a wealth of personal insights and stories!

Our growing collection (see ‘Inventory’ for current details) includes a 1902 Ormonde (a past participant in the Pioneer Run) and a 1903 Clyde (with unique SIMS magneto); a clutch of unique prototypes and ‘media stars’ which cannot be seen anywhere else; a barrel load of other British machines, including racers and road bikes from ABC to Zenith; the last Triumph T140 out of the Meriden gates in 1983 and a 1991 Norton rotary in Paramedic livery.

Carrying the Biking Banner

The LMM isn’t just a great static display. During the year our bikes appear in shows and exhibitions. In 2007 we had two bikes in Brent Museum for an exhibition celebrating the Ace Cafe.

In 2008 on 6th July we shall be celebrating 50 years of the Triumph Bonneville. It was originally built in Late 1958 for public launch in 1959.

Last year we attended the Beezumph rally, Beaulieu Motorcycle World, Hampshire Police and Cheshire Police open days, plus many more events, gatherings and meets.

We also have bikes that have starred in Eastenders, Dad’s Army and George and Mildred.
We regularly take machines to community events, county shows and carnivals as well as hosting our own special events, ride ins, on the museum premises (see our events page).
