Love this free little farm. It has toilets onsite and a changing table which is great for the kids. The pigs and sheep enclosure was shut when we went but we saw them on the other side. Its small but plenty for little kids. There is a adventure playground right opposite and also a park with a splash park! So it really can be a full day out. Love it here.

A wonderful little city farm that we have visited many times and always enjoyed. A hidden gem in London and a great place to bring little ones. They have geese, rabbits, chickens, cows, pigs and goats! The setting is lovely with pretty flowers and areas to sit down and relax. The toilets are clean and there are plenty of hand washing facilities available. The staff are always very friendly and happy to answer questions and chat about the animals. This is a lovely little slice of the countryside amidst the hustle and bustle of London. A place that is well worth the visit.

Recently visited a lovely city farm located in Islington, about 10 mins walk from the Underground station. It’s not very large, but it houses a variety of animals, including pigs, rabbits, and sheep. The farm is well-maintained and clean, creating a pleasant atmosphere. It’s a great place for both adults and children to enjoy.

Nice farm. They have geese, rabbits, goats, pigs, chickens, cows and lovely flowers there too! Toilets are clean and available to use. Didn’t see any staff around though. Only down side was silly children riding up and down on their scooters and scaring the chickens. 🙄 I think there should be rules put in place so that children are not allowed scooters 🛴 in the farm as they can scare the little chickens.
