Always longed to have a patch of green to call your own? Wish you could grow your own vegetables, fruit or flowers? Then an allotment could be the answer.
There are 18 allotment sites in Greenwich and we have sizes to suit the beginner and the expert. Our tenants come from at least 26 ethnic groups and ages range from 18 and 87, so no one will feel left out.
High demand
Greater awareness of healthy living and organic food, as well as the increase in food prices, has generated a lot of interest in allotments.
Our allotments are now so popular that all our sites have waiting lists.
NOTE: Because we have long waiting lists, we are neither accepting applications from, nor offering plots, to people who do not live in the Borough.
Enquiries
If you are a borough resident and would like to put your name on a waiting list, please fill in the allotments enquiry online form.
The Council cannot put anyone on a waiting list for an allotment that is not managed by the Council. You should get in touch with such self-managed allotments directly (or the Council will redirect you to them). Contact details can be found on the allotment sites listing.
Allotment tenants: update your details
To help us manage the allotments effectively it is important that we have up-to-date contact information for all tenants. If your contact details change, please let us know by sending an email to allotments@greenwich.gov.uk.
Please include your:
- name
- address
- telephone number
- site name

Help the environment
Having an allotment garden gives you the opportunity to learn about, appreciate and improve the environment.
Many varieties of plants are grown on such sites, which contributes to the biodiversity of the area, providing vital habitats for wildlife. This also helps to keep alive strains of edible plants that are no longer commercially available.
