 Blackheath, London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blackheath is a suburb of London, divided between the London Borough of Lewisham and the London Borough of Greenwich.
The borough boundary runs across the middle of the heath; Blackheath Village is on the south side of the heath, in Lewisham, while the Blackheath Standard area and Westcombe Park lie on the north-east side, in Greenwich.
However, Blackheath is perhaps most famous as the home of the Blackheath Rugby Club, founded in 1858, which was the first Rugby club in the world without restricted membership.
