ONE PARTY YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO MISS9am to 6pm
On Saturday July 6th you are invited to take part in a piece of UK biking history!
We are thrilled to announce that Bill Davidson, Global Brand Ambassador for Harley-Davidson, will be joining us at our monumental 100th Warr's Anniversary Event on Saturday, July 6, 2024.
In 1924 F.J. Warr opened a motor bicycle repair shop on London’s King’s Road. That same year he became an agent for the Harley-Davidson Motor Co. of Milwaukee, USA. The rest, as they say, is history…
This landmark event promises to be an unforgettable day filled with music, food & drink, motorcycle history and the spirit of Warr’s and Harley-Davidson. We look forward to celebrating this incredible milestone with our community and special guest, Bill Davidson.
Our headline act on the day who embodies the spirit of the King’s Road is Glen Matlock from the legendary Sex Pistols! Like Warr’s, the Pistols were born on the vibrant King’s Road, a breeding ground for innovation and rebellion. This unique bond makes this event more than a celebration; it's a homage to a street that has fuelled cultural revolutions.

Glen Matlock is credited as a songwriter on 10 of the 12 songs on the Sex Pistols' only album, Never Mind The Bollocks. He left the band in 1977 and formed the Rich Kids with Midge Ure. In 2023, Matlock released his sixth solo album, Consequences Coming, and joins Blondie on their latest album and tour
Kicking off the festivities is Magdy (Cairo Son) with an acoustic set of rock & pop covers, followed by JD Harmo & Paul Cuddeford (The Boomtown Rats, Marti Pellow) as they channel the blues of the 1920’s. Experience the electrifying sounds of bad grrrl 60’s garage rock with The Trouble, followed by classic rock from the 70’s courtesy of power trio The Edliners.
Last year, our dealership was visited by a special guest - none other than Hollywood hero Danny Trejo (Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn, Heat) and we’re thrilled to announce that the food on the day will be provided by Trejo’s Tacos, Danny’s very own Taco restaurant! Trejo's Tacos first launched in Los Angeles back in 2016 and have just opened their first London restaurant on Portobello Road.
Our MC for the day will be lifelong Harley rider Neil ‘Doctor’ Fox (Nation Network Chart Show) while DJ Leona Graham (Absolute Radio) will be spinning the tunes throughout the day.
Sautter will provide a complete onsite bar, offering an extensive selection of beverages to cater to every taste and preference.
The King’s Road’s favourite village pub The Rose, situated across from Warr’s, will feature entertainment and a unique selection of 100th themed food & drink also available on the day.
The Warr’s Museum will also be featuring the biggest selection of Historic Harleys this side of Milwaukee! Exhibits Include Edwardian Silent Gray Fellows, WW2 Liberators, Rock n Rollers, Electra Glide in Blue, Legendary Harley Racers and various rare Key models from Harley history.
No matter what else you’ve got planned make sure you keep the date free and make sure you take part in a piece of UK biking history.
