Right around the corner from the hip Shoreditch and in the shadows of skyscrapers less than one mile away, you’ll find Spitalfields City Park, which has been open since 1978.
The farm is home to many favourite farmyard animals including sheep, pigs, and super-cute Guinea pigs. The farm has plenty of green space which encourages wildlife, including birds, bugs, and insects to come into the area — making it extremely rich in contrast to much of the surrounding city.
