Historical version 3 of Blackheath (view current version)

(Note: "Blackheath" is the name of both a park and an area of London. This page describes the former.)

The place to fly kites in SE London.

Big fireworks display every year!

"Blackheath was so called because it appeared a darker colour than the green fields beside the Thames which it overlooked - the soil was dark and so were the plants which grew there."

Blackheath joins on to Greenwich Park.
