Vauxhall City Farm, London

We office workers are notorious for not taking a proper lunch break, even though we all know that it is good for you, but what better excuse to have a lunch break than going to see some farm animals! 

That is exactly what me and my friend did on our lunch break the other day, taking a quick trip to Vauxhall City Farm, a stone's throw from Vauxhall underground and station. 

feeding time! 

love that the rabbits and chickens are
playing together 

how cute is he! 

Vauxhall City Farm is absolutely diddy, so it is a perfect quick trip just to get some fresh air and for a moment, get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. 

look carefully and you'l see the dead Xmas

loving the pony! 

They have the cutest animals, from rabbits, chickens and shetland ponies. My favourite though were definitely the llamas and alpacas (sorry I still can't tell the difference) - they are the weirdest looking creatures with their long  noses, buck teeth and deep stare! 

Being stereotypical city folk, we also shat ourselves when they perched up on their hind legs in their excitement to get our food (you can buy pellets of food for 20p!) They are harmless though and we had to admit embarrassment when the little 3 year old next to us didn't even flinch! 

If you are in the area, then it is worth a little quick trip to see the animals and I think it is a great idea to get city kids interacting with animals they míght otherwise not get to see.
