About the London Clarion Cycle Club

We're More Than Just a Cycling Club – We're a Community!

Since 1895, we've been bringing cyclists of all types together, fostering a love for two wheels and a vibrant social scene. We are growing cycling club with 200 members from around London, Kent, Essex and Surrey.

Our Rich History: Cycling Through the Ages

We're proud to be part of the National Clarion Cycling Club, an organisation with a fascinating past rooted in the Clarion socialist movement of the late 19th century. Our founders believed in making cycling accessible to everyone, regardless of their background, and that spirit still drives us today. We've ridden through over a century of change, adapting and evolving, but always holding true to our core values.
