I'm worried we're assuming that the GLA have supplied us with a definitive
source of names.
When I had a first quick look at the names provided I was worried they were
mainly based around adjacent road names when many allotments have complex
names.
I can find a couple where the allotments society
I have ignored the local authority supplied name where the sign on the
ground was different.
Given that some of these may no longer exist, even, we should be making
surveys of any that are missing and any existing with conflicting names.

Great tool! I've checked out my local area (Ealing) and there's a few
disagreements marked for several allotments which are listed as
'Private Site' in the GLA data. Effectively there is no name present
in the data for those sites, so perhaps this scenario could be catered
for in the algorithm,

Thanks. There are some odd cases where the local authority's name ends in

If so, some entries in the data are clearly bogus:
