Vauxhall City Farm

Alpacas and skyscrapers coexist here like old friends.

Minutes from MI6 and the London Eye, this 1.5-acre farm brings a piece of the countryside to central London. Vauxhall City Farm is an educational charity that offers all the sights and smells of rural life, from alpacas to compost heaps. Free entry (donations welcome) and opening hours Tuesday–Sunday make it easy to drop in, volunteer or join a horticultural or crafts workshop. Grab a tea from the Old Dairy café and let the alpacas remind you not to take yourself too seriously.

There's a version of the Lark who could tell you what to do before this, and where to go after. She plans evenings around feelings, not postcodes.
