Blackheath has a distinct village feel with litle boutiques, restaurants and bars, while traditional pubs look out onto the magnificent heath. The heath itself is the focal point of the area and provides a genuine sense of detachment from the bustle of the urban environment. It is a popular spot for kite flying, walking and other sporty pursuits, as well as the venue for an annual Bonfire Night firework display.
Greenwich Park, with its majestic views across the river, is a wonderful place to walk and enjoy a picnic with friends and family. The park is home to the Royal Observatory and the Prime Meridian, as well as having many lasting memories from the 2012 Olympic games.
With all this parkland on your doorstep, it’s almost impossible to imagine you’re so close to the centre of London. Living here, you really do have the best of both worlds.
