The Chelsea Cruise?

Anyone know what happened to The Chelsea Cruise, or if it still exists? The reason i'm asking is that my Dad wants to take some of the car-mad kids from his street to 'see some cars'.
Many car clubs used to take part, mainly in the summer months, and cruise backwards and forwards across Chelsea Bridge. I remember going in the late seventies,it used to be fantastic.
I would assume it was stopped by the powers that be some time ago, due to a change in traffic regulation as I can find few references to it on the web at all. There are a few references to it on an American muscle car site, but only as "Back to the Chelsea Cruise" in a retro fashion as if it has ben gone for some time. Nothing on the Ace Cafe site either.
Kind of interested in the history and what happened to it now i've started looking!
Any info appreciated........

Thats fantastic. Thank you.
I saw the Ace listings and was gonna suggest that's where he went. Prob won't go tonight, as the Olympic torch thing is on, and the weather ain't great!
