  • Walking & Cycling: The farm is located on the Wandle Trail, offering a scenic walk from nearby areas. It is roughly halfway between Merton Abbey Mills and Morden Hall Park. Bicycle stands are available at the front of the farm; however, bicycles and scooters are not permitted inside the farm grounds.
  • Traveling by Bus:
    • The 200 Bus runs from Raynes Park via Wimbledon Station (BR), Queens Road, Haydons Road, Colliers Wood, and Phipps Bridge, Mitcham. A short walk along Homefield Gardens leads to a footbridge over the River Wandle on Phipps Bridge Road, directly to the farm.
    • The 93 Bus connects Putney and Wimbledon with Morden and Sutton. Disembark at the Princess of Wales pub, go under the subway by the tramlink stop, continue straight through the industrial estate, then turn right at the end of the road. Follow the footpath next to Sunlight Laundry and walk past the riding arena to reach the farm entrance. This walk takes approximately 15 minutes.
  • Traveling by Tram: The Tramlink runs from Beckenham Junction or Addington Village to Wimbledon via Croydon. The Morden Road and Phipps Bridge stops are on either side of the farm and are roughly a 10-minute walk from the entrance. From Morden Road Tram Stop, walk through the underpass, down Lombard Road, and turn right onto Deer Park Road. Follow the alleyway between the laundry and the police station to reach the farm entrance.
  • Traveling by Tube: Colliers Wood and South Wimbledon stations (Northern Line, Zone 3) are within walking distance. The walk takes 15–20 minutes and passes Merton Abbey Mills along the riverbank. Morden Station (Northern Line, Zone 4) is a slightly longer walk but passes through the scenic grounds of Morden Hall Park. For route planning using public transport, the TFL Journey Planner is recommended.
