"During the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, the Kentish rebels met with royal government representatives on Blackheath and continued into London, killing government officials, attacking gaols and setting fire to buildings in the City. Eventually the rebels were forced out of London, but continued to cause trouble in other parts of the South West."

What locals say about Blackheath

“In the Royal Borough of Greenwich, a great village with easy rail access to London via rail. Great shops, cafes plus a lively market across the heath in Greenwich. Live music & family activities at Blackheath Halls. It's great whatever age or stage you are at in life! A little green oasis in the midst of S/E ”

“The numerous outstanding private and state primary schools.”

“For breakfast, I often go to The Green Cafe in Greenwich which is friendly and popular with the locals. For something a little more upmarket it's got to be Chapters in Blackheath. There are also some incredible gastro-pubs in the area. My favourites are The Vanbrugh and the recently refurbished The Pilot.”

About Blackheath

A southeast London suburb with a distinctive village atmosphere, Blackheath is best known for the large open public grassland that gave the area its name. Located 6.4 miles (10.3 km) from Charing Cross, it has very good transport links. You’ll also find an excellent array of local amenities. Plus, there’s no shortage of green space, thanks to the heath, Greenwich Park, Sutcliffe, and Cator Park. Blackheath is known for nature, arts, and culture and beautiful period conversions rather than its nightlife. Given the suburban atmosphere and lifestyle, the area is popular with professional couples and families.
