Blackheath Newcomers meets on Tuesday evenings at 8pm for an hour, based at 410 Lewisham High Street rather than in Blackheath itself, so it is worth double-checking the address before setting off if you know the area. As the name suggests, the meeting is geared toward people new to Alcoholics Anonymous, with a slower pace and more explanation of how meetings work than some longer-established groups offer. It is an open meeting, so friends and family members are just as welcome as those attending in their own recovery. The venue is wheelchair accessible, which is a helpful practical detail for anyone unsure about access before their first visit. Lewisham High Street is well served by buses and close to Lewisham railway and DLR station.
