We hired the hall for an engagement party 20 March 24 . The hall was amazing easy to reach with buses underground just round the corner, spacious air conditioned sun light coming through its high cielings windows. Toilets and kitchen clean and tidey. Staff were very nice and helpful. I highly recommend it for all sorts of occasions
Great venue to hold, birthdays, celebration of life, family gatherings.
Thank you to the staff team.

Wow so much fun in Stepney Green, i think this is my favourite. A really cute spot worth a visit on the way to Bricklane if you're coming from Whitechapel Elizabeth line. Get to see some cute baby goats and donkeys. Beautiful on a sunny day.
A beautiful island of green in the middle of the busy city area. The perfect place for families and kids to spend some hour among the animals that used to be part of daily few decades ago. A fun to teach respect for our planet and other creature. A lovely coffee shops and many sitting area makes the experiences enjoyable for adults as well. Hopefully these realities will stay alive for a long time.
Another visit to Spitalfields City Farm. Lovely little farm in the heart of London making the most of their space. Spring has sprung and they have lots of produce and flowers growing in their plots. Nice little shop with various products linked or from the farm. Also, a small food stand. New projects in progress, raised beds and redoing an animal pen. Recommend poping down and supporting. Keep up the great work !
Spitalfields City Farm
Best experience with kids! Animals are so friendly. Just be mindful that you can't feed the animals.

It's remarkable that there's a city farm within walking distance of the City of London but that's what you've got in Spitalfields. Obviously it doesn't have rolling fields and loads of animals but what it does have is charm, love and dedication.
Fortunately the farm is free, which makes it accessible to all, but you can donate, buy plants and contribute through taking a break at the farm's café.
What's nice is that the farm packs a lot into a small space with plenty of happy looking animals and lots of explanation for the kids. It's well worth a visit.

Well it's not at its best just yet, a bit too early in the year but the whole park is just lovely.
One of my most favourite spots, as it's always so calm and beautiful in here
Absolutely amazing staff, answered all the questions my Son had:) Visited in the middle of the week so really easy access to all animals. Can't wait to visit again:)
A place of tranquility and nature
Great farm in Central London! Will definitely be going back when I book an animal encounter. You could pet some animals already anyways
A very beautiful garden, any day of the year. Free.
Great community garden
Great use of space

What a great farm to visit! Unlike others you can pet some of the animals as they come closer.
Was super fun for my 4.5 yo and we even got lunch there and everything was delicious.
We left a 10 quid tip, it was a pleasure!
Thank you!

Smoked a tate cigarette with the g himself. He kept asking people passing by what colour is their Bugatti.
Great for the community
Beautiful just now with the abundance of colours and lovely scents especially from the wild roses.
Wee community garden beautiful 🌿 🌻
The most honest people live around this square. I left my phone on the bench and it was kept by a local woman until I called it and arranged a collection. Thank you so much.
This area is being updated and pond was closed during my visit during May 2023. It’s really lovely and calm walk only issue was that some people still brought their dogs inside the area despite notices clearly state not to.
It is a beautiful enclosed area inside Greenwich park. I am
Always at the park, but it was my first time seeing the garden. Upsetting they don’t allow dog on lead. Would make much easier. If kids are allowed to play ball, they can also destroy the plants. The garden is still being rebuilt but it is a beautiful area and perfect for a picnic in a calm place. The pond area is closed but seems so pretty. Hope soon it will be fully operating.

In Edinburgh city this is one of the must visit places. Set on the edge of Corstorphine Hill the walled garden is a very relaxing place and very well looked after by the volunteers. That range of plants and all the colours is remarkable, especially on a sunny and calm day.
Lovely picturesque little nook.
Great place visit in spring.
Note this garden is only for residents who live near the Tate Modern. You need a password to get in. Lovely place.
Excellent facilities, great staff and well maintained between different events.
I've played a few games of badminton here now as part of the men's badminton group and really happy with the space available.
An outstanding community centre run by outstanding folk!

We have been renting the group room from BCC for a number of years and have only good things to say about our experience. The staff are friendly and helpful and the venue has received some extra TLC in the last couple of years. It's a pleasure to run our skills groups from the centre.
Perfect place to meditate
Booked for 4yr old birthday party. Very easy to book (staff are organised and responsive). The centre is spacious and clean with the kitchen and toilets all in good order on arrival. The caretaker was on time and welcoming. We would book again.
Beautiful flower garden, always full of nature and no dogs are allowed so it’s a nice place to bring children. There’s are trees which could be climbed and lovely areas to have a picnic. There’s are little flower patches dotted around and in the summer and spring they are truly beautiful, in autumn the garden is equally beautiful as there are lots of different trees in greens, oranges and reds!
Nice tiny garden. A good place to sit down and chill out. Not much walking can be done here but as it's located on corstorphine hill, that's not a problem as you can easily walk around in the surrpunding areas.
Brilliant for the community..even though they had a fire these guys were right back at it well done
This is an incredibly special place for us. We were in London at Gt Ormond St Hospital for our first daughter to have some surgery, and we lost her. A friend put us up for the week after, before we arranged to get home to Belfast, and we stumbled across the gardens. There we found the squirrels, that are incredibly tame, and would come and take nuts from your hands.
Normally we wouldn't encourage the taming of animals, but the next day we bought bags of monkey nuts, and just sat on the ground and communed with these creatures, and we did it every day for 5 days.
I think they saved our lives. They just gave us something beautiful, in the midst of a hellish period.

We've hired the hall at Barnsbury twice now for our 3 monthly meetings and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
It's very good value for money, offering the space we need, the chairs and tables we need, basic facilities for refreshments and wheelchair access. The staff are very helpful and accommodating and the process of booking and paying has been very straightforward. Thanks!

Wonderful community garden run by dedicated volunteers much loved by the local community.
Carry out soup and a sit down. Perfect
Such a lovely local group investing in both the park and community. They’ve built a brilliant, large veg plot and offer crops to local banks. They also run free or low cost sports accessible to all.
A beautiful garden open to the public, I really enjoy having this place to visit and it’s only a stones throw away from my house 🏡
Engaged , community focused and pro-active local group which have maintained and developed the Wray crescent open space to such high standard. Their work has helped Wray crescent open space win a green flag.
A fabulous community kitchen garden, much loved park, a small open space much used for football, picnics, yoga, tai-chi and for reasons that make little sense given the pitch is nowhere near regulation size, cricket. A strong local community who work hard to make the park a special place.
Lovely group of local residents who work hard at keeping the park beautiful and working hard for their community. There is a garden with grown vegetable with food donated for people in needs. ‘World bee day’ is celebrated with neighbours and children from the area. They are also offering yoga and tai chi class for all.
A great wee quite space away from the hustle and bustle of Finneston and the crowds in Kelvingrove Park.
Brilliant place, come to graze my cattle in spring.
This park is situated between the River Thames and Lower Ham Road and is within easy walking distance from Kingston town centre. I parked around Richmond road as there were free parking spaces on the street and walked here .
Terrific location, superb and aesthetic environment and very well kept. There are many swans so come with bread!
Great spot for walks and picnics, good views of the River Thames and it's boats and birds
Early morning with a coffee, on a bench, peaceful with the heat of the rising sun on your back. A great start to the day
This is a very nice walled garden that's not quite off the beaten track but close enough to be loved by locals and hidden from undesirables. Its maintained by volunteers and you can tell as it looks like a labour of love.
Beautiful spot by the river to enjoy nature (especially after a long walk or cycle).
Beautiful, imaginative and successful street planting project; a real credit to all those involved. Thank you.
Canbury Gardens is a nice park by the River Thames. It has a cafe, pub and tennis courts.
The best place to walk around in Kingston upon Thames. Its a family place and offers stunning views at the Riverside
Lovely quiet garden worked in by the local community. Sheltered West Side of Corstorphine Hill. Laid out in different plantings and microclimate areas. Have a break from the outside world or learn about the flowers and trees.
Perfect place to hang out and chill. Feeding ducks, diping feet in the water or swimming. Parking place available.
Lovely community garden with classes and opportunities to grow your own veg!
Very pretty garden with ponds a quiet space for those who live near the bustle.
Gorgeous,full of flowers, well tended and manicured gardens, not at all as busy as i expected it to be.
Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. I spoke to Rasel about hiring the hall for my classes, he let me look around and even helped me figure out where the buggies would go. He was very kind and everything was done quickly, he explained they were writing up new terms or agreement and that they would be sent by email but explained roughly what it would look like. He then explained about everything I would need and even went further to help me obtain my insurance. Spacious hall and amazing staff. Will definitely be wanting to maintain my classes here, especially right next door to a nursery which is perfect as my classes are for babies and caregivers.
Very nice museum.
Nice and welcoming! People from all around the globe are there and the sunny days are making everything even better.
A glass of beer and a good ice cream and everything is wonderful! Definetly a place to go if you have the chance

This is a well located, wonderful community centre in the heart of Barnsbury. It is excellently run, the team are extremely helpful and friendly. Inexpensive and great for events, I attended a spring dinner here. The hall can hold around 100 people, has a kitchen and there is another small room that was used for the buffet.
Great for kids parties, dinners and meetings

Amazing place to visit... During a nice sunny day in London. Definitely The place to go.
Nice garden with plants, shrubs, flowers, plants etc. Named after the famous sugar making giant, Tate and Lyle
