Time Out says

Why go?
This is London's very first city farm, started in 1972 by a local community group who were passionate about introducing young people to rural life. So they transformed a former timberyard, tucked between two railway lines, into this small, much-loved spot. If you've ever taken a Thameslink train that goes through Kentish Town you might have seen a sneak preview of its animals through the window, but they're better close up: visit to see goats, pigs, donkeys, and impressive gothic-looking Indonesian black chickens.

Unlike other city farms, you can't feed or pet these animals, but amusing printed bios will help you get to know them. There are also plans for a horse and pony-riding programme underway, housed in a custom-built arena.

Don't miss:
This farm's community garden is cultivated by locals, who grow all sorts of exotic and familiar veg.

When to visit:
Every day, 9am-5pm

Ticket info:
Free, donations welcomed

Time Out tip:
Enjoy a bit of rustic tranquillity by spotting frogs in the wildlife pond.
