Bike Shed Moto Co.

What it’s like

A big motorbike hangout in London with galleries of bikes and art, a shop to browse and a 160-seat restaurant to sit down in.

This one's more of a wander-round-and-look than a hands-on kids' activity. The galleries mix motorbikes with art, so if you've got a child who's into anything with an engine, this is the sort of place they'll drag you round twice. There's a curated retail space too, which is a polite way of saying it's a shop you'll want to leave with something from.

The real draw for a family visit is probably the 160-seat café and restaurant. It's a proper sit-down space rather than a snack counter, so it works if you want to make a whole afternoon of it rather than just popping in for ten minutes. Weekend mornings look like the easiest time to go, with doors open from 9am on both Saturday and Sunday, and Saturday nights running right up to 11:30pm if you fancy it as an evening thing instead.

One thing to flag: it's shut on Mondays, so don't turn up expecting a quiet start to the week. Otherwise it's open every day, with long hours most evenings, which gives you a fair bit of flexibility around naptimes and school pickups.

There's bike parking on site, which is a nice touch if anyone in the family is coming on two wheels themselves rather than just looking at them.
