The Ace Cafe was built in 1938 as a roadside cafe to cater for traffic, particularly hauliers, using the new
North Circular Road. With its proximity to Britain´s then new and fast arterial road network and being open 24 hours, the Ace Cafe soon attracted motorcyclists. Once the cafe was established, the owner's thoughts turned to the motor trade. In 1939 he opened a service station with a battery of 10 pumps on adjoining land, with a spacious washing bay, showroom and repair shop. The Ace Cafe was reopened in temporary accommodation and subsequently rebuilt in 1949. Long before its' 'greasy spoon' tag, the following set of pictures capture just what a state-of-the-art cafe/restaurant it was, with home-made food being prepared and cooked on the premises. www.ace-cafe-london.com
