Nearby Spitalfields City Farm

 
 
Spitalfields City FarmThere's loads to do at the 1.3 acre Spitalfields City Farm. Come and meet Gwenivere the Shetland Cow, Pants the Sheep and Bayleaf the Donkey - just a few of the cute and cuddly animals dotted around this lush, sprawling plot. Saturday is the time to visit if you fancy a donkey ride. Milking demonstrations with the goats are held daily and special events take place throughout the year. Little Spitz Playgroup is open every Sunday, 10am to 12pm, for under 5s to get involved with some painting, sand play and arts and crafts. A great place for a back-to-nature East End family outing. The farm entrance is in Buxton Street (next door to Buxton School) to account for Transport for London's work on the East London Line Extension. In addition, there's pedestrian access opposite the top end of Allen Gardens, a short walk from Buxton Street.
