About

The local economy includes a mix of independent shops and restaurants clustered near the village centre.

The ward is notably home to the Royal Standard pub, a landmark dating back to the 17th century. The heath itself hosts large-scale events, including annual bonfire night displays. Transport connections are provided by the mainline railway station at Blackheath. The area also contains several well-regarded state primary and secondary schools.
