Ice cream van hire in Chislehurst

Chislehurst is one of the most rural-feeling parts of London. Commons and woods run through the middle of the village, its roads are lined with large houses, and the Royal Parade has a row of independent shops. The Chislehurst Caves, a network of man-made tunnels dug for chalk and flint, were used as an air raid shelter in the Second World War. Napoleon III spent his last years in exile at Camden Place, now the clubhouse of a golf club.

Events in Chislehurst are often private and outdoor: garden parties, children's birthdays, school fairs and village events. Many houses have long drives and big gardens, and the commons give the area plenty of green space. Our battery-powered vans suit this setting. They serve without an engine running, so there is no noise or exhaust over a garden party, and the van can be placed near guests without disturbing the peace of the village.
