London Motorcycle Museum, Transport museum in Greenford, United Kingdom
The London Motorcycle Museum was a transport museum in Greenford displaying over 150 classic motorcycles across multiple halls within a former council depot. The collection spanned different eras of British motorcycle production with models showing how designs evolved over time.
Bill Crosby founded the museum in 1999 after collecting British motorcycles since 1960. Before settling at its Greenford location, the collection had been housed elsewhere in earlier decades.
The collection featured motorcycles from BSA, Triumph, Norton, and other British makers, telling the story of the country's two-wheeled manufacturing tradition. These machines represented how the nation built its reputation in motorcycle engineering.
The museum occupied a converted council building in an accessible area of Greenford with straightforward location and good access. Visitors were advised to confirm opening arrangements beforehand, especially for viewing specific sections or rare collection pieces.
The museum loaned motorcycles to film and television productions, gaining additional visibility for its collection. Well-known shows including American Chopper and the British series EastEnders featured authentic bikes from the collection as period props.
