Stepney City Farm is a rural sanctuary in the middle of London\u2019s East End, with plenty of cool farm animals for kids to enjoy. It\u2019s not just a place to meet animals; there’s a wide range of social activities taking place for locals residents as well as visitors.

The farm was founded by locals in 1979 built on a neglected ww2 bombsite. After ups and downs, the farm has been thriving in recent years thanks to passionate staff and volunteers. More than 5000 school children are benefiting from classes, tours and projects each year, and it\u2019s a hub for social activities in Tower Hamlets.
