Blackheath has that coveted village feel, yet you know the hustle and bustle of the Big Smoke is just a small commute away. It’s known for its gorgeous Georgian homes, cafes, bars and restaurants. But if you’re struggling to find some great drinking and dining spots, then you’re in luck. DesignMyNight have put together a collection of the best restaurants and bars in Blackheath for you.
Zerodegrees Blackheath
In the very heart of Blackheath you’ll find Zerodegrees, an amazing microbrewery and restaurant combo. Their seating on the mezzanine level overlooks the brewery (think of them as front row seats) and there’s a heated garden to enjoy all year round. Enjoy a huge range of cocktails, beers and wines, as well as fresh pizza and seafood if you’re feeling peckish. Want to know another bonus? It’s only a 15-minute walk away from the O2, so it’s the perfect spot for a cheeky pre-concert dinner and some drinks.
Address: Zerodegrees Blackheath, 29-31, Montpellier Vale, SE3 0TJ
The Princess Of Wales
If you’re looking for a traditional boozer with a contemporary twist, The Princess of Wales is set to become your new favourite spot. It’s got delicious classic pub grub, plenty of craft beer and a vast selection of wine for those who love a glass of grape. You can enjoy all this in their airy conservatory room or beautiful beer garden that transforms into a BBQ area for alfresco dining in the summer (get your bookings in now). This place isn’t just a pretty face though, the pub was actually used as a changing room for the first ever England V Wales rugby match back in 1871 - pretty cool, right?
Address: The Princess of Wales, 1a, Montpellier Row, SE3 0RL
The Railway Blackheath
When moving to a new area, it’s always important to ensure you’ve got a great local pub nearby. If you're moving to Blackheath, The Railway happens to tick all the boxes. It serves up some fabulous traditional British food and of course has plenty of craft beers on tap, which you’ll definitely be ‘taste testing’. Come warmer weather, you can even choose to chill on their roof terrace or beer garden - with a G&T in hand, obviously. It’s also a great place to watch local live bands too, or test your knowledge at their weekly pub quiz.
Address: The Railway Blackheath, 16 Blackheath Village, SE3 9LE
Copper And Ink
Are you searching for a new casual dining spot that also offers a dash of luxury? Blackheath’s Copper and Ink is just the ticket. This family-owned restaurant serves up gorgeous food influenced by French and Scandinavian cuisine: it’s literally *chef’s kiss*. The owners wanted to bridge the gap between fancy and casual dining by proving a chilled out space where you can appreciate truly exquisite food. Plus, all the produce is both locally and ethically sourced - it’s a Blackheath must try.
Address: 5 Lee Road Blackheath, SE3 9RQ
The Ivy Blackheath
The Ivy is a British staple that everyone knows and loves, and the Blackheath outpost is no exception. This gorgeous all-day drinking and dining spot is just a stone's throw away from Blackheath halls, making it the perfect place for a pre-theatre bite to eat. Get your cameras at the ready, the art deco detail and Parisian outdoor dining area must make it onto your feed. So if you’re looking for breakfast, brunch, dinner or even some afternoon tea, The Ivy has you covered.
Address: The Ivy Cafe Blackheath, 43-45 Montpelier Vale, SE3 0TJ
