Oasis Farm Waterloo
We’re an urban farm in the heart of London Waterloo. We have transformed a strip of wasteland into a flourishing community resource and a haven for nature. This is a space where we learn to care for ourselves, others, plants, animals, and the environment.
We specialise in working with disadvantaged young people, helping them to thrive academically, socially and emotionally. We do this in partnership with Jamie’s Farm, offering a ‘Farming, Family & Therapy’ programme that re-engages them with academic life, helping them to fulfil their potential in school and in society.
Over the Summer Holidays we’ll be open every Friday (26/7, 2/8, 9/8, 16/8, 23/8 & 30/8) at lunchtime for our Friday Feasts! Check out our events page for more details.
If you’d like to visit us, feel free to drop in on a Friday between 11am – 2pm in summer.

Spitalfields Farm
Spitalfields offer many opportunities to engage with. Daily volunteering involves working with animals and helping out in the gardens.
Schools from near and far also come to one of our guided tours/workshops, where we also offer bespoke courses and tours. The farm is a great place to hold parties for all ages but make a booking and check dates as we get very busy.
You can of course always visit for free 6 days a week, Tuesday – Sunday. Enjoy our gardens and meet the rare breed farm animals.
