Time Out says

An area of high open ground in south east London, Blackheath is jointly managed by Lewisham and Greenwich Councils as it is bisected by the borough boundary, the A2 or Shooters Hill Road. Smart Georgian homes and a few stately pubs surround a heath on which some of the world’s earliest sports clubs started; among them is the Royal Blackheath Golf Club, said to be the oldest golf club in the world. Blackheath also has a long history of radical protest that runs back to the Peasants’ Revolt in 1381, consciously echoed by a week-long Climate Camp of 3,000 anti-capitalist and environmental protesters here in 2009. The heath features areas of grassland and ponds as well as good views over the capital and surrounding counties, and is known as the starting point for the London Marathon.

What’s on

Blackheath Fireworks

Hip hip hooray, Blackheath's annual fireworks display is back for a second time, after a big relaunch last year. Slammin Events (the company behind Ally Pally's massive annual display) have brought this new, ticketed fireworks events to southeast London, and this year it's going to be even larger, with a capacity of 40,000 (up from 30,000 last year), more food stalls, and a bigger line-up of entertainment.  As well as a full fireworks display, there's an array of bells and whistles included in the £16 ticket price. Garage stars DJ Luck and MC Neat will be in the Big Top tent alongside club legend Brandon Block. Massaoke (that’s mass karaoke) is back for a second year, as is the electrifying Lords of Lightning illuminations. There’ll also be a lineup of comedians bringing the laughs inside the Big Belly Comedy Club. And new for 2026, the event is launching the ‘People’s Stage’, which will host performances from local talent.  Joining the festival atmosphere are independent food and drink stalls serving up refreshments. And there's a fairground with dodgems, hooplas and other exhilarating ways to fritter away your cash. Find more fireworks displays in London
