William Eckersley:
Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum, but it looks great!  I'm seeking advice/knowledge on finding an allotment in London.  I had an allotment between 1991-1999 at Vauxhall City Farm in Lambeth and have been out of London for three years.  At the moment I live in Camden and cycle 10 miles to an allotment in Barnet.  However, I am now moving back south for a new job and am DESPERATE for a new allotment!!!

Does anyone know of any allotments (esp. with vacancies!) around Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth?  I'm back on the waiting list at Vauxhall City Farm, but at the current turnover rate I'll be waiting 20 years!

Any information/advice about locations, vacancies, community gardens, allotment sharing would be most gratefully received!  Many thanks,

Will

Hi William - and welcome to the crew.  But -- I'm sorry, I'm in Leeds.  Best I can offer are a couple of links

http://www.btinternet.com/~richard.wiltshire/allot1.htm
http://www.kitchengardens.dial.pipex.com/homepage.htm

Worth a go?  They seem well connected?

And hang in there - just the right plot is waiting for you!!! :)

All best - Gavin

Hi William, welcome!

In addition to gavin's links, I would suggest a computer search for each council home page.  If it's like our council website, a search lists all the allotment sites in the area and contact details.  Best of luck!  ;D

William Eckersley:
Thanks for the support, guys - the Lambeth website is a non-starter for allotments I'm afraid....  But I may pay them a visit sometime soon!

Cheers

Will
