Spitalfields City Farm is the nearest city farm to the city of London, the capital's financial centre. Despite this, the farm is located in one of the most deprived and densely populated wards of Tower Hamlets, although Spitalfields remains a vibrant and colourful multi-cultural area with strong community links.

Receiving over 18,000 visitors a year and spread over 1.3 acres of land owned by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and Railtrack. The farm keeps a selection of farm animals and has developed growing areas in every available space.
