The Rockers are back in town for a Christmas run to take toys to children in hospital.

The leather-clad motorbike “ton up tearaways” from the 1960s are revving up at their famous Ace Café haunt on the North Circular Road for its 27th annual Christmas toy run to drop off presents at Northwick Park and St Mary’s Paddington hospitals.

They are appealing for donations of toys to be dropped off at the café from well wishers.

“We’re grateful for anything people donate for children aged three to 11,” Ace café owner Mark Wilsmore urged.

“Times are challenging and difficult for charities caring for less fortunate children, so any surplus gifts will be distributed later to voluntary groups that can make a world of difference to a child.”

Hospitals advise against stuffed toys and sweets because of allergy risks — but nurses may appreciate some sweet treats, we’re told.

The Rockers — as they were known in their heyday in the 1950s and 60s — are appealing for things like Lego, arts and craft sets, Barbie dolls, Spider Man, cars and planes to be dropped off unwrapped at the café.

They will set off ‘on mass’ for the Sunday toy run from the café at Ace Corner in Stonebridge Park, near Wembley, at 10.30am on December 15.

Then it’s back to the café afterwards for the bikers for a cuppa and mince pies with prizes for the “best dressed bike and rider”.

The toy run last year was followed by an evening candlelit Christmas carol service at the café.

The Ace was famous six decades ago as a Rockers’ mecca for “ton-up” bikers who would race along the North Circular at 100mph — often pursued by police.

The café later fell into disuse for many years until Mark bought it in the 1990s. He reopened it in 1997 as the Rockers’ nostalgic meeting place with a guest visit from retired members of Bill Halley’s former Comets rock’n’roll band, all in their 70s at the time.

It was American Bill Haley and his Comets’ Rock Around the Clock that started the whole rock’n’roll era when the 78rpm record revved up to No 1 on the Christmas Hit Parade both sides of the Atlantic in 1955 and again in 1956.

The bikers also did an Easter run in east London for disadvantaged children earlier this year for the Ambition, Aspire, Achieve charity in Canning  Town.
