About

Think of this as Blackheath’s local paper… If you’ve ever received a local paper in Blackheath, you’ll know that it tends not to be very local. This Blackheath blog, whilst generally not being on paper, will be local.

Also, it is about Blackheath in London, SE3, UK. Not one of the many other beautiful Blackheaths that exist around the world.

The Bugle lives in Blackheath, and has done for only a year, but thinks it is possibly the nicest bit of London that there is, and counts his lucky stars each evening as he walks back from the station.

Things to get you started:

Here are some of the most visited pages on this blog:

• Blackheath Camels!
• The Princess of Wales Pub, Blackheath
• Blackheath Bike and Kite Festival coming soon
• Photos from the Bike and Kite Festival
• Petite Boulangerie Jade… And Greggs
• Chapter Two Restaurant in Blackheath
• The Guilty Hair Cut
• BNP in Blackheath
• The Phantom’s Pagoda
• Virtual Tour of Blackheath

Further Reading:  I highly recommend “Blackheath Village and Environs” by Neil Rhind.  Volume 1 is in print, available from The Bookshop on the Heath, or from Amazon.

Volume 2 is out of print, but can still be found second hand.
