How would you get to Blackheath by public transport from ED?


I imagine parking would be a nightmare?

Train from Denmark Hill or Peckham Rye is an easy way to get there. Sadly that train doesn't run after about 7:30/8pm so useless for a return journey.


Might be quickest to go via London Bridge at night, silly as it looks on a map. Or train and then swap onto a bus at New Cross or Lewisham maybe.

185 to Lewisham then walk or short bus ride. (but traffic would be bad)


Parking impossible (even at normal times only a few paid parking spaces on Blackheath)

The largest one in London is on Blackheath, and they have a pretty spectacular one in Crystal Palace too - two sittings, so that the littleuns can be taken to bed early. We used to live near Blackheath and I can guarantee it's a complete 'mare to find parking or get too.


We now live close to CP, and you are welcome to share our driveway if you cannot find parking around the park.

I'll second this one. Really great atmosphere - kids can play on the adventure playground, bands playing - last year's 'What Shall we do with the drunken sailor' a classic - can't remember the name of the band. ANyone?

I went to school in Blackheath/Greenwich from ED + the journey is pretty easy. For the fireworks display I always get the 177 from Peckham bus garage to Greenwich (just past the museum) + walk up Maze Hill - that way you should avoid the traffic

How long does it last?


The last one I went to at Brockwell Park was quite long - whenever we thought it had finished, the fireworks started again!


It was very good, it was just the getting out of the park afterwards that was bad - thousands (?) of people trying to get through a few gates, and then trying to cross the main road. There were police etc but it all seemed a bit disorganised nevertheless - though obviously the traffic can't be held up indefinitely :)

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By shazza76 · Posted

      Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!

      Be careful on the pavements...

      Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
