Description

The Mudchute Park and Farm was established in 1977 by the local Island community, on derelict land originally created from the spoil discarded during construction of the nearby Millwall Dock. It now claims to be the largest urban farm in London. Since its creation, the Mudchute has encouraged local schools to use the project to study the natural world on their doorsteps.

Facilities at the farm include a café, shop, education centre, equestrian centre, and a variety of animals to see, such as Goats, Sheep, Cattle, Pigs, Ducks, Geese, and even Llamas. The equestrian centre has a range of horses and ponies, and offers both group and private riding lessons to children and adults of all abilities.
