Hello And Welcome

Founded in 1937, The Blackheath Society aims to preserve and improve Blackheath.

We work to maintain and improve local amenities for current and future enjoyment and manage an extensive archive on Blackheath’s past.

We keep members informed about community events and give members a voice on current local issues.

Blackheath Station Car Park

OBJECTION SUBMITTED

The Society's planning group has now submitted a detailed response to the Station Car Park application. They have examined the plans carefully and reflected opinions from our members, local people and businesses. The document can be read here.

We will press for a public consultation meeting before the application goes to the planning committee and are working with local councillors to plan this.

The application for development of the Car Park can still be accessed here. Comments can be submitted by the planning portal or by emailing planning@lewisham.gov.uk quoting reference DC/25/139604. The deadline is 30 April however the Planning Officer has indicated that comments will be accepted up until the date the application is determined.

Self Guided Walk of Blackheath Village

The Blackheath Society created a Self Guided Walk Of Blackheath Village based on the work of our President Neil Rhind. You can download a PDF here to print or view on a mobile device and follow the walk in your own time. We hope you will enjoy it.

The Blackheath Society Archive

New Blackheath Memories films released on our archive site.

We are very excited to say that we have been working with Pam Schweitzer on restoring interviews which she carried out in the early 2000s with Blackheath residents and these have been added to the archive website. The interviews have been made into short films which we hope you will like.
