Allinson was born in London, the eldest son of a doctor, Thomas Allinson, whose advocacy of vegetarianism and contraception had led to his being struck off the medical register. Allinson, known for his landscapes of Southern Europe and North Africa, and for a series of notable posters he made for London Transport originally began studying for a career in medicine. However, he gave this up and turned instead to art, gaining a scholarship in his second year at the Slade School of Fine Art. In February 1911, he became one of the founding members of the Camden Town Group, and with other members later joined with the Vorticists to form The London Group.
A pacifist, Allinson associated himself with the Bloomsbury Group during the First World War, producing drawings for the Daily Express newspaper and one of his most important works, a scene inside the Café Royal made in 1915–16. He also designed sets for the Beecham Opera Company. In 1916 he was registered as a conscientious objector.
After the war, he taught at the Westminster Technical Institute. Some months before his death, he participated in the creation of a wax sculpture of Kwame Nkrumah for Madame Tussauds. Allinson died on 20 February 1959.
