Spitalfields City Farm

We weren't letting rain put us off having fun outside this weekend, so despite the adverse weather conditions I fulfilled my promise that Kit could see some piggys on Sunday.

The added bonus was that he got to jump in some puddles too (and splash pooey yucky water all over my friend Jess) - sorry Jess.

We were at Spitalfields City Farm - which is a great place for a farm, as it is just off Brick Lane and all the markets, so you can do some guilt-free (well toddler guilt-free, not financial guilt-free) shopping once you have worn your little person out!

Surprisingly, we were the only people there on Sunday and so Kit had all the soggy toys in the play area to himself (until the heaven's opened again!). We've been before when they have had events on and they have great activities there too.

There are other city farms around London.

Lee Valley Park Farms, Essex

Mudchute City Farm, Isle of Dogs

Surrey Docks Farm, Rotherhithe

Vauxhall City Farm, Lambeth

Newham City Farm, Stansfeld Road, E6 5LT

Kentish Town City Farm, Chalk Farm

Hounslow Urban Farm, Middlesex

Hackney City Farm, Tower Hamlets

Freightliners City Farm, Highbury and Islington

Deen City Farm, Colliers Wood

Belmont Children's Farm, Mill Hill

and of course Crystal Palace Park Farm

I think we may have to organise a farm crawl, to visit all the piggys in London!!
