Looking for a way to beat the heat, or just love a freebie?
Iceland has got Londoners covered, as they’re offering free ice cream and ice lollies across a range of locations around the capital tomorrow.
On Friday June 9, when temperatures are set to reach highs of 30 degrees, the supermarket is popping up to help city-dwellers cool down – all without spending a penny.
Alongside Iceland’s own-brand options – priced at £1 per pack and featuring favourites like strawberry splits and rocket lollies – you can get your hands on Mars, Wall’s, Rowntree’s, Haagen-Dazs, Tango, R White’s, Hubba Bubba, Magnum, Ferrero Rocher, Ben and Jerry’s, Solero, Cadbury and Cornetto treats.
You’ll have to be quick, as the gratis goodies are available on a first come first served basis, from any time between 12pm and 3pm.
There’s also a limit to one product per person, so don’t get any ideas about stocking up your freezer.
Here’s where the ice creams and ice lollies will be handed out:
Covent Garden
Hyde Park
London Fields, Hackney
Oxford Street
The Green Park
Victoria Park, Bow
If you miss out or live too far to get involved, there are plenty of great value summer buys at Iceland.
A range of lollies and ice creams are available at £4 for two packets, while a number of varieties are on offer with up to £1.75 off.
It’s a far cry from the newly-crowned most expensive ice cream in the world, which comes in at £5,469 for a single 130ml serving.,
Not only is it eye-wateringly dear, it also tastes of cheese and fungus, featuring parmigiano reggiano and a rare white truffle flavouring.
We’ll stick to good old vanilla, thanks.
