Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Access that avoids crowds
As a London location, Upper Holloway is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
