dear Badger,


There are some on the right hand side of Lordship Lane as you go south towards Forest Hill. They are squeezed in between LL and Cox's Walk. The entrance is between that new development called High Wood and the TA place. Got a friend who has a plot there. will ask him about the site and get back to you.

I think the ones in Dulwich have long waiting lists, they did when I tried to get one. I have a massive allotment in Mottingham which was free for the first year (?86 per year thereafter) because it needed clearing of brambles and young trees. They are the biggest allotments I've ever seen, but you can get half plots if you want. There are still quite a few up for grabs all pretty overgrown in need of a chainsaw and a few energetic friends to clear them, but worth it if you can't get one closer. They are in Middle Park Avenue and are dealt with by Greenwich Parks in Shooters Hill, phone: 0208 856 2232. You don't need to be a Greenwich Resident to get one.
Apart from those already mentioned, there are two large allotments up near the golf club. One's called the Grange and is on the slope opposite the club entrance, the other beyond the club and scout hut is called the Gun Site. Both have pretty long waiting lists I beleive. There are also some at Rosendale Road, the entrance is near the school. Not sure what the waiting list is there. I have a plot at the Grove allotments which are next to the tennis club opposite the Harvester. I'm not sure how long the waiting list is at present, less then 12 months I think, but if you pop along on a Sunday morning can ask for Theresa (she runs the Committee) she'll be able to tell you. If you can't find her pop a note in the postbox on the outside of the shed with your phone number and she'll no doubt give you a call.
One pionter - if you do decide to go with an allotment - then please please please use it - the reality vs. the ideal of having this little plot and the work it requires sometimes doesnt come into the pretty little heads of many new allotmenters - dont deprive someone else of these scarce rescources unless your are 100% sure its for you.

    • Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guy who posted the rumours for the source of the information? The Crown & Greyhound refurb was a big job - not surprising that it took longer than just a simple repainting. But renovating the Grove would be even bigger because it's totally wrecked, and there's a shortage of skilled labour and much more expensive materials now...
    • Rather bizarrely, I received a text from TJ surgery offering this service. To be clear, no data was asked for in the text so I don't suspect a scam but surely this is dodgy? Where does my DNA info end up and who would have access? I'm going to the surgery on the invite date to ask precisely this.
    • I used Emmaus https://emmaus.org.uk/slc/ to clear my grandfathers house last year. They were great. They all charge for this service so will come and give you a quote first.  
    • Hi, does anyone know of any charities or companies that can come and clear your house to be donated for a good cause? I know the British heart foundation does but wondering if there are others? We are moving overseas and hoping to donate most of our belongings in one swoop if we can! Thanks.
