Stepney City Farm

[10] The farm also runs workshops in rural crafts through its resident artisans; blacksmith, woodworker and potter.

[13][14] In 2010 Crossrail took over approximately a third of the Farm's site as part of the works to build a rail transport link connecting east and west London.

[19] The farm's bull and cow Lloyd and Leila were featured in Strictly Come Dancing with Nancy Dell'Olio and Anton du Beke in 2011.

[22] A campaign was started to get permission from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to grant an exemption to the usual cattle movement restrictions.

The exemption was not granted despite the involvement of local Member of Parliament, Jim Fitzpatrick (former Minister for Defra), and the cows were culled in December 2013.
