We were founded 69 years ago by local residents, including our late Chairman and President, Charles Strangwige, to promote gardening and allotment activity in the Avery Hill and Eltham Park areas and we are still going strong today. Many of our members are tenants at Pippenhall allotments on the Bexley Road and other local allotment sites.

We organise various events throughout the year and run a shop selling a range of popular garden products. The shop is open every Sunday morning at Pippenhall Allotments- see the shop section for more details or better still pop along on a Sunday morning to see for yourself. 

If you would like to know more about us, or would like to join please get in touch using the contact form 

We look forward to meeting you soon.

Update on allotment toilets and having bonfires as of July 29th

The Royal Borough of Greenwich have now allowed the toilets to reopen. We ask that you use your own hand sanitizer before using the toilets.

Bonfires on site are still not permitted until further notice

Pippenhall Allotment Shop Open every Sunday

The shop at Pippenhall is open every Sunday morning.

Our landlords the Royal Borough of Greenwich have informed us that customers can now be allowed back into the shop building from Sunday 1st August. 

To minimise risk to our volunteer staff and customers we request that if you do come into the shop that you wear a face mask.

Only one customer at a time can be inside the shop and we would ask that you continue to observe social distancing.

If you do not have a mask or are medically exempt we ask that you remain at the shop door and we will be happy to serve you from there.

Please do not come to the shop if you or any of your household are unwell, showing symptoms of Covid or are self isolating.

Reminder about car use on site at Pippenhall

Please do NOT drive down the centre path at Pippenhall if it’s raining or there has been heavy rain or use the bottom of the site to turn your car round. The path and the ground at the bottom of the site gets extremely wet and flooded as the water drains there.
A plot holder has informed me that lumps of clay/dirt have been placed/left on the bottom path of the site. Please do NOT place anything on the main paths. text box

WHEELBARROWS
Just a reminder that the wheelbarrows are NOT to be taken and used off site. They are for use ON SITE ONLY by those plot holders that have purchased a key to the locker storage shed, not kept on your plot and are to be returned immediately after use. Two have recently been put back in the shed with damaged tyres which now cannot be used until repaired.

There are no vacant plots currently available currently. The council have informed us that there is a waiting list as of Spring 2021.  Please note that all enquiries about allotment availability or joining the waiting list for an allotment should be made with the Royal Borough of Greenwich via their website. We are unable to help with enquiries about allotment availability. Please see the allotments webpage for more information.
