Welcome! The London Bicycle Café is a unique space where great coffee, food, and cycling culture meet. Beyond being a community hub, our space is also a welcoming venue for hands-on workshops that inspire creativity, learning, and connection. To help everyone enjoy their time, we’ve outlined some best practices for workshops that work well in our café.
Great Workshops for the Café
- Small-group classes where participants can engage and interact
- Creative, skill-based sessions like art, writing, or cooking demos
- Informational workshops on sustainability, cycling, and community-focused topics
- Wellness or mindfulness activities in a relaxed setting
Times That Work Best
To create the right atmosphere and keep the experience comfortable for all:
- Sunday through Wednesday evenings from 7:00 PM to close are best. These quieter evenings allow us to dedicate space to your group without the bustle of our peak hours.
- Our lunch and dinner service are important times for our business as we serve seated meals and need to keep our limited seats free as possible.
- Daytime workshops are more challenging to accommodate due to café service, so we encourage evenings wherever possible.
Size & Space Considerations
- Our space is ideal for workshops of up to 12 participants.
- Layout can be arranged to suit the activity, but please keep pathways clear for customer access.
- If you’re planning something larger, let’s talk—we may be able to suggest creative alternatives.
Supporting the Café
- We kindly ask that each participant enjoy at least one food or drink item. This helps us keep the café thriving and welcoming for everyone.
- Outside food and drink aren’t permitted, but our menu has plenty of tasty options to choose from.
Keeping the Atmosphere Enjoyable
- We maintain a cozy, relaxed vibe with music at a comfortable 65 dB.
- Workshops should be designed to fit within 90–120 minutes, so the space remains available for all.
- Please keep materials, tools, and technology tidy within your area so the café can continue to feel open and inviting.
Let’s Make It Work for Everyone!
We love being a space where learning, creativity, and community come together. If you have a special request, accessibility need, or unique setup in mind, reach out—we’d be happy to help shape a workshop that fits both your vision and our space.
