I'm getting a new plate for my bike and my Dad suggested I put
'Box Hill Bikers'
at the bottom.

The hill is called "Box Hill" after the Box trees which grow on it.
But language, especially the English language, is a dynamic living thing so I think you can use either Box Hill or Boxhill (or Box'ill?  ).

| Depends on the context. If you're talking about the website, then definitely one word. If you're talking about the place, then definitely two. |

Cool, might have to get one of these.
What are the rules on fonts now, are the shaddowed 3'd ones allowed? |

3D shadow is legal, so long as it's standard size (or the permitted size given the age of your vehicle)
The one's I have have the 3D font logo ghosted and on the bottom and 3D font. They are technically show use only as they haven't got a BS mark on them; however the Shadowed "boxhill.co.uk" is quite subtle and it would have to be an especially anal copper to nick you for it.
