London Clarion Cycle Club has been Cycling in London for 125 years.

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 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. Our next ride is shown below and members get access to our full programme of events. 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.
