About
Established in the 1970’s, Mudchute Park and Farm is one of the largest city farms in Europe. With 32 acres of countryside, located a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of Canary Wharf, the farm is a place where you can experience rural life without leaving the city. We are proud to be one of London's only Rare Breed Survival Trust's Approved Conservation Farm Parks. The farm is home to over 100 animals, including pigs, sheep, goats, cows, ducks, geese, chickens, rabbits, and even llamas. Visitors can get up close and personal with the animals by feeding them or petting them under the supervision of the farm's expert staff. Mudchute Park and Farm is a fantastic destination for families, animal lovers, and anyone looking to escape city life and enjoy some time in nature. With its wide range of facilities and activities, there's something for everyone to enjoy at this unique urban farm.

    Gem in heart of city
    Amazing free experience in the heart of city! We stumbled on this gem by chance. Our son lived in the area about 10 years ago….. What an experience for grandchildren, grandparents and parents! We saw pigs, sheep, goats, donkeys, different varieties of chickens, ducks etc. super friendly staff. Great children’s activities. They loved feeding the sheep! Nice coffee shop. All geared to young children. Highly recommended
    Hi, thank you for the lovely review and we are glad you enjoyed the Park and Farm. Hope to see you again soon.

    Serotonin Boost
    I have been here many times before when I lived in London, and I always loved it. It was my go to place to cheer myself up. Its changed a lot since I last visited and seems bigger! My favourite ram didn't seem to be there anymore so I was sad about that, but it still made me happy walking round and my partner couldn't believe such a place was in the middle of London (his first time in the city). We sadly couldn't see the ponies as it was closed off, and we didn't stay for food. However I got some amazing photos on my new Nikon which was one of the reasons we visited last week, and the animals didn't disappoint, you can tell they are so used to people. This place is a little piece of heaven for anyone feeling they need a serotonin boost.
    Thank you for your lovely review.

    Near London City, No Admission Fee
    Admission is free! Sheep and goat food for feeding cost 1 Pound Sterling per packet. Had enjoyed the feeding time. Recommended for family with young children and teenagers, and those like farm animals.

    City farm perfect for a pretty afternoon!
    City farm, very close to the train station. Free to enter, lots of animals to see. Different types of ducks, goats, sheep, chickens, donkeys and ponies. Animals look well-cared for and happy. They sell food for a pound a bag but sadly no one was available to sell us any on our visit. Others had it, though, so maybe just poor timing. It’s run by volunteers so I can’t be too hard on them. Restrooms available and they are clean!
    Thank you for your review.

    Great day out!
    Lovely farm, friendly animals who u can feed with purchased £1 food bags (although not the pigs). Hard to believe you’re only a short walk from Canary Wharf and its shiny skyscrapers. Hopefully, the Cafe will reopen soon under new management.

    What a gem!
    Such a good place for both adults and kids! The fact it’s free is mind blowing as they have a good range of animals and there was the cutest little calf there when we went! You’re able to feed some of the animals with £1 bags of food which is a good little experience too, we really enjoyed ourselves :)

We had an excellent day at Mudchute Farm, all staff were brilliant aside from one, hence the 4 starts which is such a shame as such credit is due to this brilliant space.

There is a red head older woman (between 60's - 70's) whose behaviour and conduct I found embarrassing. She is based in the animal holding area. Our visit was a few months back now and she challenged everyone and everything.
She bullied the younger staff in the animal holding area and was challenging them over small issues in front of customers which caused much embarrassment for staff members. She was incredibly abrupt when I first arrived so much so I nearly turned round and walked away and at the end of the event when we were looking at purchasing some small gifts, she asked we don't pick up the toys and just looked.
I would like to make my feedback really clear because this impacts both staff and customers. As she's an older (grumpy) woman that's clearly got away for some time with such attitude, she'll bullying the staff and basically pissing off the customers, not the time of behaviours and attitudes I would want in my work place.

Otherwise, all other staff were so friendly and helpful. The farm is bigger than expected, lots of animals very well looked after and a brilliant day for children (if you avoid certain staff).

We saw this place featured on Joolz Guides, so popped along on a Friday in February. The kitchen is basic but very pleasant, and the breakfast was well cooked, cooked to order and absolutely lovely.

Mooched azbout a bit after, looking at the animals.
Would thoroughly recommed.

This was my first visit with my very young grandchildren and family last Sunday and it was a great experience. Plenty of animals to see including friendly lamas in addition to the usual farmyard animals and pets such as rabbits. An excellent cafe is the icing on the cake and the cakes were delicious as well as the hot drinks. So a must if you have young children as they will enjoy the extensive area to explore. The adjacent park is yet to be explored on a future visit. And to top it all it is free entry.
