Mudchute Park and Farm is a large urban park and farm just south of Canary Wharf in Cubitt Town, located on the Isle of Dogs in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is a Local Nature Reserve and a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation. The name of the site is a testament to the engineering overspill when Millwall Dock was being constructed in the 1860s. Spoil from the excavation of the Dock, and silt from its channels and waterways were dumped on nearby land, using a conveyor system.
The Mudchute Association, is a registered charity whose primary objective is “Management of the park and farm with special consideration for animals, wildlife, visitors, trainees & staff. To maintain the financial sustainability of the project and to respond to local needs and initiatives.”
The park now covers 13 hectares (32 acres), and the local authority describes the farm as the largest urban farm in Europe.
Mudchute DLR station, named after the park, opened in 1987. However, the nearest train station for the park is Crossharbour.
