Saw this on the BMF and Unity sites and thought it might be of interest as ride or a guided tour for those not from the smoke

The London Unity Ride History
On 21st August 2005 we joined together as a motorcycling community, to show our respect to those who lost their lives in the London Bombings and in appreciation of the freedom we enjoy.
On August 19th 2007, the motorcycle community undertook a major London charity event. Motorcyclist from all over the UK joined us in the most extensive charity motorcycle ride ever staged in the capital.
On August 17th 2008 we will again return to the streets of the capital to celebrate motorcycling and to raise money for those less fortunate than ourselves.
