Blackheath was an ancient hundred in the north west of the county of Kent in England. It had become obsolete by the beginning of the 20th century in the wake of ongoing reforms to local government. The name "Blackheath" now refers to a district of SE London.[1] In 2022, the area of the old hundred lies mainly within the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
