Ice cream van hire in Kenley

Kenley is a small, green corner of the London Borough of Croydon, between Purley and Whyteleafe along the Caterham valley. Its roads are lined with trees and large houses, and there are commons and woods on almost every side. The best-known landmark is Kenley Airfield, one of the RAF fighter stations of the Battle of Britain, which still has its historic blast pens and today hosts gliding as well as walkers on the common next door.

Events in Kenley tend to be community-sized: garden parties, church and school fairs, sports club afternoons and gatherings of neighbours. Many roads are narrow and winding, and parking can be tight near the station, so it helps to know where the van will stand before the day. While serving, our vans run on battery power with no engine idling, so they can serve on a quiet residential street or a village green without disturbing anyone nearby.
