As he is eating ice cream that the children longingly observe, it’s more likely he meets them at a local A.B.C. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerated_Bread_Company), a cafe place (or places) which was often named checked in a lot of classic British literature. This would mean the song is set in a pre-1955 London, as A.B.C. shops closed then.
