The Bike Shed

Join us in celebrating motorcycle culture, motorcycle people, the stunning machines we ride and the friendships, adventures and experiences they bring, whether you ride or just love bikes.

Custom Motorcycles, Moto and Apparel Retail brands, Great Food (come hungry), Live Music, Art, Photography, Multiple Bars with cocktails, beer, wine, whiskies, etc, Quality Coffee, Lounges, Curated Retail, Barbershop, Tattoos and much more. This is not your average motorcycle show.

Europe’s biggest and best independent annual motorcycle show celebrates the creativity of the new-wave and cafe-racer custom motorcycle culture, with over 250 curated custom motorcycles, unseen in the UK, from all over the world.

Set in London’s historic and beautiful Tobacco Dock, the event is also famous for its superb hospitality with high quality street-food from dozens of sole-trading vendors, barista coffee, multiple proper bars and a pub, lounges with dozens of sofas, plus dockside seating, live music, tattoo artists, and a traditional barbershop.

This is NOT a motorcycle trade fair, it’s a family-friendly exhibition in a beautiful historical venue, where people from all walks of life are invited and everyone gets a warm welcome, whether they ride a motorcycle or not. You’ll want to hang-out all weekend, with plenty of space to chill-out and enjoy the crowd, the entertainment, the eye-candy and the vibe, including live entertainment.

Bring your camera, bring your mates, your better half, and the kids too.

Every element of this unique, privately-run event at London’s iconic Tobacco Dock is hand-picked by the organisers (based at the Bike Shed Motorcycle Club in Shoreditch). Every exhibited motorcycle is ‘invitational’ and selected from the best bike builders in the UK & Europe, with guests from the USA, without ropes or barriers to obscure the view or spoil your photos. Every brand, retailer, artist, photographer and exhibitor is selected and approved by us. Every barista, bar tender, burger (or salad-box) and coffee bean is tried & tested, and the organising staff are all bike-loving volunteers and members of the BSMC. The event is extremely family friendly, safe for kids, and enjoyable for non-bike-riders, as well as custom aficionados.

Expect a motorcycle show like no other…
