About Ally Pally Allotments

Ally Pally Allotments were set up by Haringey Council in 1917 to provide plots for local people to grow their own fruit and vegetables. A thriving allotment association runs a members’ shop, an evaporating toilet and a community polytunnel. In summer 2020 they built a new social shed for meetings, horticultural workshops and cafe sessions. During the growing season, fruit and vegetables are collected weekly for a food bank in nearby Hornsey. From May until September an informal art group meets weekly to draw or paint – and then chat over tea. North London Beekeepers have a special plot with beehives where they educate people about beekeeping. Mixed hedging has been planted on the site’s boundary, to increase biodiversity, and there are plans to establish a hazel grove, for cutting sticks to support climbing plants and so reduce the need for imported bamboo canes. Cashless payment available for teas and produce.
