There is no word yet on the victim’s condition. The road was closed and buses on diversion.

The centre of Blackheath is a pretty horrible area on foot with a large amount of traffic and numerous railings penning in pedestrians and taking what little paving space there is.

In recent weeks it was reported that Lewisham Council, Network Rail and Southeastern all sought to retain a car park in the area rather than build housing.

Adverts are far from enough to cover living costs and and pay to keep it going with hosting fees, URL fees and Theme costs adding into the hundreds of pounds.
