High Noon at the Ace Cafe: How the ULEZ expansion plan is 'strangling' petrolheads' historic hangout.

"At the Ace Cafe in Stonebridge, North West London, there are dark clouds approaching from the south, where once a squadron of German bombers flew. The transport cafe was not the intended target, but one night in November 1940, a high explosive bomb that was intended to wipe out a nearby railway line ripped through the building. It was one of 90 high explosive bombs to drop on the area during the Blitz.
Now London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, and his Ulez policy,  already causing resentment  for the city's motorists, has spread trepidation among patrons of the Ace Cafe. Currently, the cafe is just outside the Ulez boundary, but on August 29, Mr Khan's new tax will cover the majority of the zone within the M25.Many of the customers cars & bikes fall into the historic category and are not liable for Ulez. But between the modern and historic there are a whole swathe of cars and bikes that have been affected and will be further affected by the expansion....'

If I thought it was going to be like it used to be then I would make the effort to go one more time but I doubt it, so I doubt it.....
