The information is in the allotment sites.

To find your way to an allotment site by public transport, find its postcode in the allotment sites then enter this into Transport for London's Journey Planner

N.B. As we do not have access to tenancy agreements it is difficult for us to know exactly how many vacancies there are on any one site. We gather information from our site representatives and members, on a regular basis, who know from experience if plots are being worked. So far we have found that our information is usually about right and from 2006 to 2008 has been more accurate than the councils own records.

2. Choose Your Plot Size

The current price of an allotment for a 10 pole plot with water would be £41.00 which is £3.20 per pole and 90p per pole for water making a total of £41.00 per annum.

The concessionary rate would be £1.30 per pole and 90p per pole for water, (there is no concessionary rate for water) making a total of £22.00 for tenants who qualify for a concessionary rate (these could be students, retired people, unemployed persons or someone on benefits).

A 50% discount is available for new tenants - so an allotment could cost as little as £11.00 for a 10 pole plot with water for anyone who qualifies for the concessionary rate.
