A village in the city, with just enough London attitude to remind you where you are.
Blackheath is where Georgian elegance meets community spirit, and where the phrase “hidden gem” actually means something. This is the part of town where the grass really is greener.
It’s all a bit slower here — in the best way. Think market strolls instead of supermarket scrambles, pub gardens with fireplaces, and indie bookshops where they actually know your taste. But don’t be fooled by the serenity — there’s plenty going on behind those sash windows and artisan bakery counters.
It’s London, but with breathing room.
