Historical version 4 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 (they have competitions there sometimes). There's often a fair on bank holidays. Donkey rides (outside Greenwich Park) on Sundays.

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.
