Jeremy Clarkson has taken a swipe at the city of London in a recent social media post.

The former Top Gear star is originally from Doncaster but has made Oxfordshire his home after taking over a farm in Chadlington.

Diddly Squat Farm, near Chipping Norton, has become a global tourist attraction after the success of Clarkson’s Farm on Prime Video.

Now into its third season with filming on the fourth already underway, Clarkson’s agricultural antics have proven to be heavily entertaining.

Thousands of tourists have descended on the Oxfordshire hotspot over recent weeks with fans from the likes of Germany, Wales and the United States all aiming to catch a glimpse of the star.

Clarkson has lived in London in the past before living on the Oxfordshire farm but evidently has lost his liking for the capital recently.

In a late night social media post, the Grand Tour star posted a photograph of Nelson’s Column and commented: “What a city. This used to be.”

The Instagram post has garnered 108,000 likes and prompted fans to question the outburst while some agreed with the scathing criticism.

One commenter asked: “What’s happened to it then?”

“Stay on the farm I would,” another added.

Others disagreed with Clarkson as one commenter said: “Still the best!”

Season four of Prime Video's Clarkson's Farm is currently in production.
