Welcome to London Clarion Cycle Club

London Clarion is a London based Cycling Club. Founded nearly 125 years ago in 1895, we are one of the oldest cycling clubs in London with a unique and proud history. We operate on a not for profit basis, run entirely by volunteers which allows us to offer great value to our members. London Clarion CC is a mixed ability cycling club with members from all across the south east; we organise a wide variety of rides each year. Membership costs just £5; or for £15 you can also benefit from 3rd party liability insurance. See how to join the ​​​club

Membership

London Clarion has been cycling in London for over 100 years. New members who support our principles are very welcome to join.

As a London Cycling Club our primary focus is on road cycling and cycle touring with some members also taking part in Audax and time trials. The most important thing to us is fellowship through cycling which often involves a visit to a pub or two. 
​
In 2019 we have organised cycling club trips to West Yorkshire, Dieppe in France and a bank holiday weekend cycling in Belgium and France, visiting the First World War battlefields. Check out our events page for forthcoming cycle rides. London Clarion Cycle Club is affiliated to the London Cycling Campaign and Cycling Time Trials.  See below for links to our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook group.  

The Clarion cycling movement was established in 1894 by staff and readers of the Clarion newspaper, a socialist journal of the day started by Robert Blatchford. London Clarion Cycling Club was established in 1895. The Clarion motto, borrowed from William Morris, is “Fellowship is Life”, thus the aim of the club is to promote goodwill and fellowship through cycling.
