Ice cream van hire in Kentish Town

Kentish Town runs north from Camden Town towards the Heath, with the High Street and Fortess Road as its spine and long Victorian terraces on either side. It is a neighbourhood of primary schools, estates, small parks and community groups, and its events reflect that: street parties, school summer fairs, estate fun days, church fetes and summer gatherings for local charities. Parliament Hill and the Lido are a short walk up the hill, which brings families through the area all summer.

Space is the main thing to plan around. The High Street carries buses and heavy traffic, and most residential roads have parking on both sides with little room to spare. For a street party, the road closure is usually the answer, and the van can sit inside it. For a school or estate event, we look for a playground, car park or service road. With no engine running while we serve, the van can stand right next to children and stalls without any exhaust.
