Mudchute Farm and Park Lease Renewal
Tower Hamlets Council's Cabinet approved a 30-year lease renewal for Mudchute Farm and Park in March 2026, securing its long-term operation.
Tower Hamlets Council's Cabinet approved a 30-year lease renewal for Mudchute Farm and Park to the Mudchute Association on March 24, 2026. This decision secures the long-term future of the 32-acre city farm, which the association has managed for nearly five decades.
The renewed lease includes an initial annual rent of £15,000, with provisions for rent reviews every five years. These reviews will adjust the rent to the higher of the inflated initial amount or a percentage of non-charitable income, departing from the Council's standard VCS Premises Policy.
No further discussions or decisions are currently scheduled regarding the Mudchute Farm and Park lease renewal. The lease ensures the continued operation of the 32-acre site, which is described as Europe's largest city farm and a nature conservation site.
