Tower Hamlets Council approved a 30-year lease for Mudchute Association to manage Mudchute Farm and Park in March 2026.

Tower Hamlets Council's Cabinet approved a 30-year lease renewal for Mudchute Association, which manages Mudchute Farm and Park, in March 2026. This decision secures the long-term future of the 32-acre site. The agreement includes an initial annual rent of £15,000, with rent reviews every five years, adjusted to the higher of the inflated initial rent or a percentage of non-charitable income.

The Mudchute Association has managed the farm and park for nearly five decades. The lease renewal departs from the standard terms of the Council's VCS Premises Policy, as noted in a report to the Cabinet. No further discussions or decisions regarding the Mudchute Association are currently scheduled.
