Crystal Palace Park Farm offers an authentic farm experience without the city bustle. It's a perfect place for families to learn about animal care and sustainable practices.
About This Place
Crystal Palace Park Farm is a free urban city farm tucked inside the grounds of Crystal Palace Park in south London, run by Capel Manor College. Visitors can meet and interact with a variety of farm animals, get hands-on with everyday farming activities, and learn about sustainable food and the countryside — all without leaving the city. School groups can pre-book educational sessions, and the farm welcomes donations to support its work. Open daily 12:00–15:30 (closed Wednesdays). Address: Ledrington Road, London SE19 2BS.
