London Clarion Cycle Club
London Clarion Cycle Club is a historic London cycling club founded in Clapham in May 1895 — one of the oldest cycling clubs in the capital and a section of the National Clarion Cycling Club. The Clarion motto, borrowed from William Morris, is “Fellowship is Life”, and the club continues a tradition begun by members who cycled out to socialist meetings distributing literature, often enjoying a glass of good ale along the way. Today London Clarion has 180+ members and organises friendly, no-drop social rides most weekends, alongside cycle touring and weekends away. Adult membership for 2026 is £20 and includes third-party liability insurance through the National Clarion Cycling Club.
