Why buy a smallholding in London
Yes, London has farms. Inside the Greater London boundary there are 152 commercial holdings on about 9,575 hectares, almost all on the Green Belt edge in outer boroughs such as Havering, Bromley, Enfield, Hillingdon, and Bexley: grazing, hay, market gardens, and livery yards inside the M25. Most buyers here want a paddock, a plot, or a smallholding within reach of the city.
London farms a mix: 51% grass and 16% cereals across 152 commercial holdings, with about 1,000 cattle and 1,000 sheep. Both grazing and cropping are established here, so most kinds of holding have a market around them.
London has no National Park or National Landscape, so standard planning rules apply across the county and permitted development for agricultural buildings is at its fullest.
Planning is decided by 33 councils in London, so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.
