Vauxhall City Farm
About this yard
Vauxhall City Farm is a small city farm in Lambeth, a short walk from Vauxhall tube station with the MI6 building and Westminster as the backdrop. The farm runs a modest stable yard with 4 horses and ponies, offering a limited number of riding lessons for adults and children alongside a strong RDA (Riding for the Disabled) programme and stable management courses. Activities include flatwork, beginner jumping, children's lessons, beginner adult lessons and Own a Pony days during half terms. The farm itself is free to visit (donation suggested) Tuesday to Sunday and is home to a wide range of other animals, making it a good combined visit for families. Strong ethos around supporting children and disadvantaged people.
