Great open space for running, especially at night, when Greenwich Park closes its gates. Pop into Blackheath village for a coffee or to feed the ducks

Thanks Miles. It's Blackheath or the Heath not a common or a park. Check out the pond near the Hare and Billet pub. There's often a heron there, probably from the heronry in Manor Gardens.

Somewhat of a rarity - huge, wide open space in London. Get out there and take it all in 👍🏼

Contrary to popular legend, the name 'Blackheath' is in no way related to the Black Death! However, it is thought that this area was used to the disposal of plague victims during both London plagues.

22 September: Fly a kite on Blackheath. The heath covers more than 250 acres and combines reliable winds and a lack of overhead cables or trees to attract kiters from around London.

On this historic open space on the London road to Dover, John Ball addressed the revolting peasants in 1381 with the words, ‘When Adam delved and Eve span, who then was the gentleman?’

Stay away from the Princess of Wales pub on a hot day on the weekend. It's a chav fest.

夏の晴れた日には、一斉に日光浴をする人たちであふれる素晴らしい草原です。グリニッジ・パークと連続していて、その昔ワット・タイラーの乱と言われたケントの農民反乱のときには、ここに農民たちが集合しました。グリニッジビレッジ、ブラックヒースビレッジ、ロイヤルスタンダードに隣接していて、パブやカフェ、ホテルなどもあって休日に過ごすにはいいところです。
