OK, the weather is a bit up and down right now – cloudy and wet one day, depths-of-hell hot the next. But don't let a few torrential downpours, the odd lightning storm or an exhaustive and fiery heatwave come between you and Mr Whippy. If you're up for some exploring, London's got some proper nice ice-cream vans out there whipping up old time favourites like the 99 or newbie trends (we're looking at you, ice-cream sandwiches) in some outrageously slick and sick vintage retro campers that can put Scooby Doo's Mystery Machine to shame. Here are a few of them.
