Ice cream van hire in Canary Wharf

Canary Wharf is a business district built on the old West India Docks, and it works differently from the rest of London. Most of the estate is privately owned and managed, with its own security, roads and rules, and many of its open spaces sit above stations, car parks or shopping malls. Events here are mostly for office staff: summer parties, client days, wellbeing weeks and team rewards, plus brand activations aimed at the thousands of people who pass through each day.

Because the estate is private, the estate management and your own building team decide where a van can go, so involve them first. Expect access routes, security checks and set loading times. Our vans serve on battery power, which suits the setting: while we serve there is no engine running beside a café terrace and no exhaust near office entrances, and with nothing running, some covered venues can accept the van, subject to their own access and safety rules. We can send our insurance, hygiene and risk assessment documents straight to the estate team.
