Ice cream van hire in Forest Hill

Forest Hill sits on the slopes of south east London, with views from its higher roads across to the City. It grew in Victorian times after the railway arrived, and many of its large houses and terraces date from then. The Horniman Museum and Gardens, founded by the tea trader Frederick Horniman, is the area's big draw, with a museum, an aquarium, a bandstand and gardens looking out over London.

Forest Hill is popular with families, and events here are mostly birthdays, garden parties, school fairs and community days. The station area around Dartmouth Road and the South Circular is busy, but the residential roads are quieter, and many are steep. Our battery-powered vans can serve on a side road or in a garden without an engine running. Tell us about any hills or narrow turns so we can plan a level spot.
