I would have thought you were looking in the wrong areas for something at
that price, but having said that I have a friend who lives in a council
house in SW London and she has a large garden because her house happens to
be in the corner of a cul de sac.

If all else fails have you thought of having an allotment, or finding
somewhere closeby where the owners don't want to garden and you could do and
enjoy theirs as well, or starting a community gardening project?
