About Discover Blackheath

Discover Blackheath is a digital celebration of one of South East London's most distinguished villages. Perched on the border of the London Boroughs of Greenwich and Lewisham, Blackheath has a story that stretches from medieval fairs and Georgian villas to the start line of the world-famous London Marathon — and this app exists to gather that story into a single, living place.

The app is built for the people who love Blackheath: the residents who walk the heath each morning, the shopkeepers and restaurateurs of Tranquil Vale and Royal Parade, the historians who trace every brick and spire, the visitors who arrive for a weekend walk, and the runners who take their first marathon steps on our common. Whether you are searching for a trusted local business, planning a heritage walking tour, browsing upcoming community events, exploring the architecture, or simply discovering a new corner of the village, Discover Blackheath brings it together in one place. It offers an interactive map, a directory of local shops and services, a community noticeboard, a photo gallery, job listings, volunteering opportunities, and an archive of the marathon's many mornings on the heath.

Discover Blackheath is built and maintained by an independent local team who care deeply about the village and its community. Every listing, photograph and trail is shaped with the help of residents, business owners and local historians who want to see Blackheath celebrated and supported for generations to come.
