Which time period are you interested in? I would imagine a lot are available from WWII onwards. A lot of areas of parks, zoos and botanic gardens nationally were turned over to allotments in both world wars. There should be pretty good records remaining for those times. I imagine the National Archive would have a lot of good records. And the National Allotment Society should have a good archive.

I read this book a few years ago and while I don't remember a lot of plans in it, there is a lot of detailed information and the bibliography might well be useful

I've edited above to add some links to plans. If you seriously want to do some research, then formal archives will probably be the best starting place. Kew Gardens, for example, is sure to have an extensive record of its allotments. The Royal Parks also.

allotment garden guide on this board and archive.org over 6 months ago

Apologies - you didn't give any date range at all in your first post so I responded to that. I've been looking for postwar ones since, in the books I have, so I'm glad you've now been specific so I can stop!

war garden 572

post war is fine if you happen find them but either way the type
I am looking for are  vegetable planting diagrams  from uk. i just found
4 more in one newspaper article from uk from 1912.
here is one from series of 11 books
from early 1980's books series "the garden for all" books by dick 
raymond I had to piece it together by hand since each color and 
vegetable type was highlighted on the back 11 different books in series
and it took 7 years to get all 11 books. 

ps don't try doing the math on this diagram. the measurements do not add up
correctly on wide rows and walkway between them.

I don't know how much you'd find but you could try searching on the archaeology data service site. Occasionally historic garden layouts are the subject of archaeological projects though it might not have the kinds of details that you are looking for.
