Kentish Town City Farm — Attraction in London

This was the saddest animal place I have ever seen and it is not at all like the place described on the website or even in older reviews. It is advertised for schools and birthday parties - I cannot imagine that this is where you would want to take school children or celebrate anything. The animals had little space to act in natural ways. One single cow in a small paddock, without companions - cows are sociable animals who make "friends" within their herd; four or five goats sitting on concrete - although they did have a small area on a slope to roam; and four sheep with little enticing fresh grass; 2 enormous pigs in a small enclosure relative for their huge size. There was nothing vibrant about the place; paint peeling off signs and evidence of past glory; "allotments" covered in weeds. The experience left a real sour taste in my mouth and I could not wait to get out. The child I was with told their parent all about how sad the place and animals were, instead of chatting excitedly about their visit. We will not go again. I rarely leave a review for anywhere even when I have bad service, but this place left me uncomfortable and sad. I can only imagine that over the years their funding and volunteers have been cut and, although I left a donation, it would take far more than a few pounds to make a real difference to the lives of these animals and the...

the staff were very cheery and welcoming. the animals here are poorly socialised & don't appreciate pets, except the cat , there are other farms if you're looking for a cheeky cuddle but, apart from the donkeys that are affected by flies, the animals seemed pretty satisfied & peaceful. it was clean around the site too, and the emphasis for animal safety through personal safety practices is highly commendable. the rough paths can be dangerous if you're not careful but the steep edges are clearly sectioned off. it appears small compared to other city farms , and i can argue that certain enclosures are far too small & don't meet the needs of the animals they house, such as the pigs and goats. however, i hope this is acknowledged without my wariness. overall, incredibly quiet, without the occasional train passing through, so a little city break for ten...

Feels like this place has been here forever. In fact it's actually the 1st City Farm of it's ilk in the UK and opened as a charity way back in 1972. It is still a charity. And does wellbeing events for all ages. Great wee urban farm for children who might not be able to get close up and personal with livestock other than by TV or laptop. I think it's important children know where their meat and dairy products come from...! Entrance is free. Donations and volunteers are always welcomed. Has some awesome gothic looking Indonesian black chickens and a super friendly same breed black cockerel aptly named Darth Vador 🖤 Can be viewed from your train seat on the Thameslink. In close proximity to Kentish Town Thameslink Overground Station. And Belsize Park Northern Line...
