Our Blue Badge guide, Rachel Kolsky, is back with a new walk through Blackheath.
One of south London’s most delightful villages, Blackheath witnessed the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 before remaining a sleepy village until the arrival of the railways. Amid the quaint Georgian terraces and shop fronts, you will discover the home of a saucy seaside postcard designer, the film studio that produced the iconic 1936 ’Night Mail’, the exclusive Cator Estate with its Georgian villas, 1950s social housing and iconic modernist 60s homes, the 17th century Morden College, one of England’s finest Georgian crescents and where Jeff Banks opened his first Clobber boutique in 1964.
