Stepney City Farm
London, UK
Back in 1979, the residents of East London came together to create a community
farm for Tower Hamlets. Built on a derelict site that had been
bombed during the Second World War, Stepney Farm sprawls across
three acres of luscious green space. Home to the likes of donkeys,
pigs, rabbits and sheep, the farm invites visitors to interact with
its four-legged inhabitants. We suggest visiting on a Saturday from
10am to 3pm, when the weekly farmers’ market draws a crowd for its
locally sourced produce. Alternatively, book a spot at one of its
volunteering events, where you’ll discover a vast range of
environmentally sustainable green-fingered practices.
