Mudchute Park and Farm Pier Street Pier Street London
You can easily spend three hours here without touching your phone. Try the orchard walk—it’s lined with apple and pear trees planted by locals. In autumn, you’ll find windfalls on the ground. Respect the signs, but a cheeky apple is practically a rite of passage.
For the active types, there’s a trim trail with pull-up bars and balance beams. It’s free and rarely crowded. Channel your inner country squire while doing press-ups next to a field of llamas.
And don’t miss the Mudchute Kitchen café. Their homemade sausage rolls are legendary—though the “vegetarian” option is basically a falafel in pastry. Still, with a view of the sheep, it’s top-tier.

Practical Tips for a Smooth Visit
Getting there is easy: take the DLR to Mudchute station (yes, it’s named after the park). The farm is a two-minute walk. No car needed, but if you drive, there’s free parking at the farm entrance on Pier Street.
Open 365 days a year from 9 a.m. to dusk. Entry is completely free—but donations are warmly welcomed. Bring cash for the honesty box or use the contactless terminal in the café.
Wear sturdy shoes. Yes, you will step in mud. That’s the point. And for the love of all things woolly, don’t feed the animals your lunch. They have a strict diet, and your crisps will upset their stomachs.
