Spitalfields City Farm

Spitalfields City Farm is an urban farm in the heart of East London, offering a rare green space where people can connect with nature, animals, and each other. Working with a vibrant, multicultural community, the farm provides educational opportunities for children and adults, helping people gain new skills, build confidence, and combat isolation. Small yet ambitious, the team continues to find innovative ways to support the community and raise necessary funds in the face of the rising challenges of food poverty and the cost-of-living crisis.

Spread over 1.3 acres of land and welcoming over 18,000 visitors a year, the farm cares for a range of animals and grows food in every available space. It is also home to a surprising variety of wildlife, including rare species – an astonishing achievement for such a central urban location.
