If you live in Royal Greenwich, you can apply for an allotment at one of our 18 sites across the borough to grow your fruits and vegetables.
Allotments are on a first-come, first-served basis. This means plots are offered to the next person in line as soon as one becomes available.
We can only add you to a waiting list for allotment plots we manage.
If the allotment is self-managed, you should contact the relevant allotment society.
How to apply for an allotment
Sorry, all our allotment waiting lists are currently closed because of high demand.
We’ll update this page with information about how to apply when they reopen.
What happens after you apply
When you apply, we add you to the waiting list for the allotment site you applied for.
If the waiting list for your chosen site is closed, you will not be able to join it. Check our website regularly, as we reopen waiting lists when a space becomes available.
If you have any questions about your application, email: allotments@royalgreenwich.gov.uk.
What to do when you’re offered a plot
You’ll need to:
- accept the offer or cancel your request
- pay the invoice we send you
- collect your allotment keys from the Oxleas Woods Centre
If you've applied for a reduced rate, make sure you send us proof of your eligibility before making payment.
