Hackney City Farm in London is a great place to visit for families and adults needing a little respite from the hectic city life.
London’s green spaces are like little oases in the hectic atmosphere of the big city. Popular parks like Hyde Park and Regents Park or more hidden ones like Phoenix Garden behind Charing Cross Road.
A favourite is Hackney City Farm, located in the Hackney area of East London.
Hackney City Farm has a small farm with animals (such as donkeys, ducks, and goats), a garden to discover on your own, a café, and an organic packaging-free shop delightfully named Get Loose. It also organises exciting courses, such as pottery workshops, craft classes, and events.
For the regular visitor, there are opportunities to get involved in animal care.
