THE BLACKHEATH SOCIETY

We aim to preserve and enhance for the benefit of the public the features of Blackheath of particular beauty or historical and architectural interest; to protect its open spaces; to encourage high standards of planning and architecture in its new buildings; to promote improvements to the amenities of the area and to encourage appreciation of its character and history.
