Ice cream van hire in Chingford

Chingford is Waltham Forest's northern tip, where London gives way to Epping Forest. From Chingford station you can walk straight onto Chingford Plain, past Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge and down to Connaught Water. The town is mostly suburban, with family homes in Chingford Mount, Chingford Hatch and North Chingford, good schools and plenty of sports clubs. Garden parties, christenings and school summer fairs make up most of the events here, with forest walks rounding off many a Sunday.

The forest is managed by the City of London Corporation, and vehicles on forest land are carefully controlled. So for a van, the easiest Chingford events are at home, at a school, a sports club or a church hall. Our vans serve on battery power, which suits a place that values its green space: while we serve there is no engine running, no exhaust and no noise beyond the hum of the freezers. Tell us about any steep drives, as some roads up towards Pole Hill are on a slope.
