Mudchute Park & Farm

Located in the middle of the Isle of Dogs, Mudchute Farm and Park is one of the largest of London's city farms, covering a 32 acre site with its rural scenes creating a sharp contrast against the urban backdrop of Canary Wharf. One of three city farms within Tower Hamlets, Mudchute is the largest of them all with smaller sites at Stepney and Spitalfields City Farm. At Mudchute there's a wide range of farmyard animals, including sheep, pigs, horses, cows, ducks, geese and dogs, which are perfect for petting. A nature trail beginning near the Education Centre is also a great family activity. With numbered points of interest for your reference you can learn and explore at the same time. The farm's cafe, Mudchute Kitchen, set in the courtyard next to the Equestrian Centre offers a good selection of freshly made food, offering a welcome break for the farm's visitors, riders and office workers - get a world away from Canary Wharf in the short space of a lunch break. The farm also holds educational and seasonal special events throughout the year and school holidays including the Easter parade, Summer Open Day and the annual dog show, held in April.
