- Access the van can manage
- With the serving side away from windows
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
As a London location, Snaresbrook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
