Blackheath London Map

About Blackheath

Blackheath, a verdant suburban expanse within the London Borough of Lewisham, offers a singular character to its inhabitants and visitors alike. It lies 8.1 km south-east of City of London (from City of London: bearing 128°T, OS grid TQ 390 763). The wide, sweeping expanse of the Heath itself, a vast common of rolling grass, acts as a grand stage for the surrounding architecture, a place where the sky seems to hold a particular clearness, especially on those late spring afternoons when the light catches the leaves of the ancient oaks. This open space, a rarity in the dense urban sprawl, lends Blackheath a feeling of spaciousness, a breath of country air made all the more precious by its proximity to the heart of the metropolis. A sense of genteel commerce emanates from the independent shops and cafés that line the perimeter, their facades reflecting a long-established, unhurried rhythm of daily life.
