Vauxhall City Farm is a city farm located in Vauxhall in the London Borough of Lambeth. The farm is run as a charity focusing on education, youth work, animal care and horticulture and is a centre for Riding for the Disabled.
Vauxhall City Farm was founded in 1977 as Jubilee City Farm by a group of architects squatting at St Oswald’s Place, following large-scale demolitions in the neighbourhood between 1972 and 1976.
The farm contains animals such as alpacas, sheep, goats and pigs which are used for the farm’s education and youth work as well as for filming and photo-shoots.The farm’s pigs have appeared on the Alan Titchmarsh Show. and the goats were used to graze a meadow on the roof of the Queen Elizabeth Hall on the South Bank in 2013. In April 2009 BBC London’s ‘Farmyard Cam’ streamed live footage of the sheep at the farm.
In October 2013, Vauxhall City Farm was approved for planning permission to provide a major overhaul of the farm alongside new affordable housing. The farm was also recently granted a fund from Sport England and The National Lottery to build three new stables.
