Allotments

Allotments were one of the most popular developments that people wanted to see in the Bermondsey area, according to the engagement work that the Bermondsey Neighbourhhood Forum carried out.

There are currently no formal allotments in the Bermondsey Neighbourhood Forum area - or the wider SE1 area (ie ground that is formally designated as allotments under the law)

However there is the opportunity for smaller community gardening 'mini-allotment' schemes in the area, particularly in and around the green spaces on the council estates.

The most successful example of this is the Tabard Gardens Community Allotments at Eastwell House on Manciple Street.

What should be done in the future
More space should be found for Community Allotments, similar to the Tabard Gardens Community Allotment model, should be found across the Bermondsey Area to meet the demand for these facilities.
