Vauxhall City Farm, London

It was such a great discovery when we found this farm in the outskirts of central London! It's tiny, but there is a good variety of friendly animals who look well looked after and quite eager to greet visitors. If feeding them, make sure you only use seeds provided by the farm. It must be so good for children of the local area to have a farm at walking distance - otherwise they may never have got the chance to see a farm animal in real life! Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely little farm. Not big but it's free and the little ones will love it. Most animals can be petted and fed. Little food pellets can be bought in handfuls from a little dispenser on site. The dispenser takes twenty pence pieces. It's twenty pence for a few kid sized handfuls so be sure to come with a good few 20p pieces,as the little ones and bigger children will enjoy feeding the animals. All proceeds go toward upkeep of farm.

The farm is easy to find and in a great location. The horse riding is lovely to watch on Saturdays. Entry to the farm is free and the management of the farm is done very professionally and very organised. The animals are healthy and clean. There is a little area that you can hire for kids parties making it an ideal spot for parents to enjoy the party and relax afterwards with a nice cup of tea or coffee from the farm cafe. The farm comes highly recommended! Parking is easy and getting there by bus is also easy.

I really liked this mini-farm. The animals are nice and the farm co-operates with schools to give kids an opportunity to grow up chicks. Also, you can ride a horse, if you want. If you want to get a taste of living on a farm, you can volunteer to look after the animals and get rewarded with a free meal.

Really cute place; makes for a lovely day out when the weather is especially nice! There are a variety of really cute animals who allow you to pet them. The on site cafe is also quite cute - the food is really lovely and very fairly priced.
