Mudchute Park and Farm

The Mudchute City Farm in the Isle of Dogs has a fantastic Equestrian Centre, a riding school and lots of lovely farmyard animals. It's one of London's biggest city farms too.

Mudchute Park and Farm is located on the Isle of Dogs in London, within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The area is well-known for being one of the largest inner-city farms in Europe. The Mudchute Association was created in 1977 in response to the threat of development in this area. It successfully negotiated the preservation of the land for public open space and as a facility for education, leisure, and agriculture. Here are some key features of Mudchute Park and Farm:

  1. Location: Mudchute Park and Farm covers an area of approximately 32 acres and is located near Mudchute DLR station and Crossharbour DLR station, making it easily accessible by public transport.

  2. Animals: The farm has a diverse array of animals, including pigs, sheep, cows, llamas, alpacas, donkeys, ducks, and chickens. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the animals, learn about their care, and even volunteer in their daily feeding and maintenance.

  3. Activities: In addition to visiting and learning about the animals, Mudchute offers activities such as horse riding, gardening, and wildlife spotting in its orchards and ponds.

  4. Educational Programs: Mudchute provides educational programs for schools, youth groups, and families to learn about sustainable living, food production, and caring for animals.

  5. Community Gardens: The farm also features community gardens where volunteers can grow their own produce, and sell their excess in the farm shop.
