Plans to charge commuters and residents for parking in Central London represent a retrograde step say the Motorcycle Action Group (MAG UK). Westminster's council have announced plans to charge for all motorcycle parking. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea plans to convert the majority of free parking bays into secure bays for residents only and charge residents for parking outside their own homes.
Infinity Motorcycles, the UK’s No.1 motorcycle and accessory store, open a branch in Chelsea on Saturday 18th March. This brings the number of Infinity showrooms in London to four and the national total to twelve. Located in Gunter Grove, sandwiched between King’s Road and Chelsea FC’s Stamford Bridge ground, this large and well lit 1,500 square foot glass fronted shop was previously owned by Ducati Central London. Infinity Chelsea will offer motorcycle and scooter riders in the Royal Borough the wide selection of clothing and accessories from market leading brands that has seen the Company grow from a single store in 1999 to one of the Country’s most successful chains.
