A night out in Blackheath wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Mordens. As the only(I think!) late night hot spot in the village, it’s also most likely your only choice. After hours, they open up the downstairs, bring in a dj, and let the dancing go in full swing. Prior to that, you’ll probably be upstairs with a nice crowd of people having wine or cocktails. Beer in bottles if you must, but beware the choices are a bit limited — it is a wine bar after all! And compared to central London, wow it’s cheap. It’s a fun place, and probably a bit of debauchery might ensue, but you’ll have fun at Mordens. While still pretty close to central London, it’s certainly a different feel — and you’ll probably be surrounded by English people!

A new addition to Blackheath, but much classier than Cave Austin which used to occupy the premesis. Being a wine bar, they have a good selection of quality wines(all served in massive glasses with plenty of swirling space), cocktails and bottled larger. On the night we visited, the door staff were working hard to politely keep out people wearing trainers or dressed too informally, but anyone in smart casual wear was welcome. The clientelle was a mix of ages, but mainly groups of women and couples. They have a garden area at the back, which should be nice in the summer, and a cocktail bar upstairs, which was very quiet when we had a look. Definately worth a try if you fancy a few glasses of wine or a cocktail in South London.
