Since then Stepping Stones Farm has doubled in size to 4.2 acres, taking over derelict land allocated by London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Overcoming a cut in funding in 1991, it continues to thrive thanks to the volunteers who work here. The site has been through several incarnations since the 17th century. Worcester house (locally known as King John's Palace) once stood where the cows now graze and you can still see the ruins of the old Sunday school and the Stepney meeting house. Animals on the farm include pigs, goats, sheep and cows as well as ducks, chickens, guinea pigs and a pair of pet rats. Seasonal events include Christmas and Harvest Festival celebrations. There's also a garden centre and Carl's Coffee Shop serving tea, coffee, snacks and where you can buy food for the animals.
