London Motorcycle Museum, Transport museum in Greenford, United Kingdom
The London Motorcycle Museum is a transport museum in Greenford, west London, housed in a converted former council depot. It displays dozens of classic British motorcycles from different decades, spread across several halls within the building.
Bill Crosby started collecting British motorcycles in 1960 and opened the museum in 1999. The collection had been kept in other locations before finding its permanent home in Greenford.
The bikes on display come from British makers like BSA, Triumph, and Norton, showing how deeply motorcycle building was rooted in British industry. Walking through the halls gives a clear sense of how these machines were once central to everyday life and local pride.
The museum sits in a quiet part of Greenford and is easy to reach by car. It is worth checking opening times before visiting, as they can vary.
Several motorcycles from the collection were loaned out as props for film and television productions, including the British soap EastEnders and the American show American Chopper. This meant that some of the bikes reached a far wider audience than a typical museum visit would allow.
