My tip would be to consider allotments that are not necessarily close to home - think about close to work as well!

My one hour lunchbreaks used to be spent at my desk working, as there was little else to do locally. I had bought a copy of the '30 minute allotment' and thought it would be a good way to spend my lunchtime. So I got onto the councils website and checked out where the allotments were, and was pleased to find one quite close to work. A couple of phone calls, followed by a couple of visits and I was offered the pick of about 9 vacant allotments. I ended up taking on a half plot and have managed to get there for my 30 minutes on most days.
