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.

Blackheath Fireworks

Hip hip hooray, Blackheath's annual fireworks display is back for the first time since 2019! Funding woes meant that Lewisham Council's big free Guy Fawkes bonanza hit the dust. But now, it's teamed up with Slammin Events (the company behind Ally Pally's massive annual display) to bring a new, ticketed fireworks events to southeast London.  As well as a full fireworks display, there's an array of bells and whistles included in the £16 ticket price. These include live music by DJ Spoony and Heavy Beat Brass Band, interactive shows in a Big Top arena like gameshow Famous First Words and singalong spectacular Massaoke, and even standup performances from Big Belly Comedy Club. Joining the festival atmosphere, 30 independent food and drink stalls will serve up refreshments – including hot potato legends Spud Bros and local craft beer at Craftworx. And there's a fairground with dodgems, hooplas and other exhilarating ways to fritter away your cash. Find more fireworks displays in London
