Where exactly is your allotment? - Region - London

[Old Central]

Hi Pigeonseed,

Yes, there are over 250 plots and some had fallen into incredible disrepair. The air photo comparison between 2003 and 2006 is dramatice though as some of the new plot holders have gone to huge lengths to remove what I can only describe as saplings!

We are organising plot tours in September. I'll post details nearer the time.

Hi Riffster,

Yes we get a ready supply of wood chip from local tree surgeons and the photo was taken in the very dry spell in 2006. Although I really have the OH to thank!

Hi fellow Londoners, I'm in Enfield on the outskirts of North London. We are situated next to a park and a cemetery.  ;D ;D ;D

[Eristic]

That will be the dead centre of Enfield yes?  ;D

[cornykev]

The waiting list is that long Eristic people are dieing to get in here.  ;D ;D ;D

Park Road in Isleworth - anyone else in Isleworth, Hounslow or Twickenham??

[Weed-Digga]

Hi, I lived in Isleworth from 1970 - 1985. Happy days!! Went to The Blue School and then The Green School. Didn't take much notice of lotties back then though!!

Wimbledon, on the Gap Road site next door to the cemetery, very close to pigeonseed. Not that she's in the cemetey of course! We have 2 allotments having got the first one about 20 years ago now which is a bit of a scary thought.

East Acton - although I prefer to think of it as Shepherd's Bush borders. We are on the Bromyard Avenue site, which is just off the Uxbridge Road (and if you know that part of town, the site is in the car park of the Virgin Active health club... only 15 plots!).

Hi Weed-digga

I help my daughter with her new plot in Greenwich, alongside the railway into Maze Hill station and its platforms. It's a small site with water and a row of sheds, and I am very surprised at how run down the plots are. All we've done so far is strim down the weeds twice and dig some rough little beds out of the grass, and it already looks better than many of the others.

Forster Road   Beckenham

not to far from Eltham

My grandmother lived in Beckenham for a while.
My dad had a plot at the Bromley (or was it Bickley) Lido. Fond memories of swimming there then going onto the plot for soft fruit refreshments (currants and raspberries). When the Lido went private, we'd go swimming at the pool Beckenham and then onto Gran's for tea.

Just to add another Londoner - St james Road here - SE16 Southwark/Bermondsey.

Nicely situtated by a busy road!

[alipally]

Abbeywood, South East London, about 5 miles from where we live.  A bit of a drive, but worth it.

[flowerlady]

Well if we are talking INSIDE the M25 ???  Then I'm in here too  ;D about a 'spit' away from J19  ::) ;D

[Common_Clay]

Right on the NW fringe of London - the countryside proper starts two lanes behind our house and we've still got a farm on our road (not working properly any more, alas).

I've put the pin on my plot. If you zoom in you can count the grapes & loganberries!

Anyone in the area fancy joining us? I'm plot secretary and I'm working my way through the waiting list....

Hi Trevor_D, we're almost neighbours, I'm in Rayners Lane! Newton Park West site.  :)
