Why it's Wildland

5.8

A working farm tucked into East London: a compact, community-focused encounter with farm animals and growing spaces amid the city.

Spitalfields City Farm earns its place for the sharp contrast between an urban neighbourhood and a working farm with animals, gardens and community activity. It is a worthwhile short visit rather than a wild landscape destination.
