Stepney City Farm is a social enterprise unlike any other: it's the only city farm in London, United Kingdom to have a place for arts such as woodworking and pottery.
At first glance, it seems like the perfect place to bring children on a glorious sun-filled weekend. On second glance, you'll realize that it's both an appropriate and lovely place for adults, too. Who could resist their cafe and farm shop with its geese eggs, espresso drinks and buttery pastries? At the cafe they also offer some of the brands you're already used to downing (and loving) like Climpson and Sons coffee and Dalston Cola.
