Ice cream van hire in Kensington

Kensington covers the High Street, the grand houses around Kensington Palace and Holland Park, and South Kensington's museum quarter. It is home to embassies, private schools, institutes and some of London's best-known halls. Events here range from family parties in garden squares to school sports days, embassy receptions, museum late openings and summer gatherings for staff and clients. Organisers here usually expect a high standard of presentation, punctuality and paperwork.

Our battery-powered vans fit well. There is no engine running while we serve, so a van can stand in a museum forecourt, a school drive or outside a residential square without exhaust or engine noise, and the whole of London sits inside the ULEZ. Many Kensington sites are private or managed by institutions with their own rules, so we expect to send insurance, hygiene certificates and risk assessments in advance. Parking is tightly controlled on most roads, so we always agree the exact stopping point before the day.
