Come and enjoy a taste of country life in the city. Freightliners Farm, in the heart of Islington, provides an exciting opportunity for you to experience a real working farm in action.

About Us

Freightliners Farm was founded in 1972 on waste land behind Kings Cross Station in London and the animals were housed in railway goods vans - hence the unusual title. We moved to our current site in 1979, and the new buildings were erected in 1988.

The Farm is situated in the London Borough of Islington, the tenth poorest borough of London, combining some of the most attractive streets, properties and squares with some very deprived areas. This mix is reflected in our 50 000 visitors, 200 school visits and numerous volunteers each year.

Our current area is half a hectare, though expansion is imminent, and is used to house our collection of animals, a classroom and gardens.

Animals

Freightliners farm adopted a non-slaughtering policy. This means that our animals are not bredfor consumption. Many of our animals are rare breeds. We keep and sell chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, quail, pigeons & doves, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and chipmunks.
