Blackheath - Top Restaurants

Map of Blackheath

A wonderful expanse of open space and one of London's remaining true villages just south of Greenwich Park, the heath itself is used for events such as kite-flying festivals and London's largest and most spectacular free fireworks display. A great place for upmarket shopping, Blackheath offers a real village atmosphere and individual shops rather than chain stores. There are delicatessens and shops selling game and fresh fish. Boutiques selling designer clothes and antique shops combine to make this a unique shopping experience.
