Blackheath, SE3

Blackheath is a suburb of London, centred on an area of open grassland ('the heath') and straddling the boundary of the London Borough of Lewisham and the London Borough of Greenwich. The borough boundary runs across the middle of the heath; much of Blackheath Village on the south side of the heath lies in Lewisham, while the Blackheath Standard area and that part of the Village around Blackheath Concert Halls lie on the north and eastern side respectively, in Greenwich. The name is a corruption of "bleak heath" and not, as popularly believed, from the dark colour of the soil, nor from the burial of victims of the Black Death on the heath in the 14th century.

The main centre of Blackheath - 'the village' - lies to the south side of the heath in the vicinity of Blackheath railway station, and is home to numerous shops, restaurants and pubs. All Saints' parish church stands on the heath itself, apart from the other buildings of the village. Approximately one mile to the north-east, Blackheath Standard is another shopping area, taking its name from the 'Royal Standard' pub.

Just south of the railway station, on the edge of the Blackheath Park estate, is the Blackheath Conservatoire of Music and the Arts. Next door is Blackheath Halls, a concert venue today owned and managed by Trinity College of Music (based in nearby Greenwich).

The heath is host to a popular free annual fireworks display on the Saturday in November closest to Guy Fawkes Night, jointly organised and now financed by the London Boroughs of Greenwich and Lewisham.
