- It means 'dark-coloured heath land'.
- An urban myth is that Blackheath was associated with the 1665 Plague or the Black Death of the mid-14th century. More Info on History
- Blackheath is an area of South East London, with the London Boroughs of Lewisham and Greenwich. It is located east of Lewisham and south of Greenwich. Blackheath contains one of the largest areas of common land in Greater London.

Review:
- Blackheath Common, to the south of Greenwich Park, is a World Heritage Site. It benefits from a high vantage point beside the Thames so you get some good views over the capital and from Point Hill you can see the three counties of Essex, Kent and Surrey laid out before you. There are four ponds on the site with the Hare and Billet pond having the most natural appearance. Once heathland covered with gorse, the area takes on a more managed appearance although wild flowers are still encouraged to grow.
For further information on the website:
- At the mention of 'a beautiful house in Blackheath' in the monologue, I have researched some property houses in Blackheath.
After looking at the location of Blackheath I feel these pictures really capture where Annie might have worked while 'In Service' as the play is set in Victorian London:
