Spitalfields Farm is a city community farm in the heart of the East End of London, and is supported by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Founded in 1978 as a small allotment scheme on derelict land, it has since developed into an urban farm which aims to bring the countryside and rural activities to the East End. Spitalfields has a range of farm animals, some of which are rare or traditional breeds. Entrance is free for everyone.Tucked away behind Allen Gardens and covering approximately 1.5 acres, the farm is a place of escape - a tranquil green oasis on the very edge of the City of London.
