Hammersmith

Hammersmith is one of West London’s most important commercial and transport hubs, offering a dynamic mix of retail, office space, and cultural venues. Stretching from the historic bridge down to its theatre district, the area attracts professionals, students, and families. The residential streets feature a blend of classic Victorian terraces and desirable Edwardian red-brick homes, particularly in the highly sought-after areas north of King Street.

​

The area is a major retail destination, anchored by the Broadway Shopping Centre and extensive high-street shopping along King Street. It is a cultural hotspot, home to the famous Hammersmith Apollo and the Lyric Theatre, which host major music acts and acclaimed productions. The area’s riverside identity is best enjoyed at its famed pubs, such as The Dove and The Old Ship, which offer historic charm and stunning Thames views.

​

Despite its urban feel, the area provides excellent access to green spaces. The Thames Path offers scenic riverside walks, and the sprawling Ravenscourt Park is close by, featuring tennis courts, playgrounds, and large open fields. The small, tranquil Furnivall Gardens offers a welcome retreat right on the riverbank.

​

Hammersmith offers a wide range of respected schools. Notable institutions include the highly regarded Latymer Upper School, The Godolphin and Latymer School, and the West London Free School. The area also features several well-rated primary schools, making it an excellent location for families.

​

It is also one of London's most significant transport interchanges. Hammersmith Station provides access to four separate lines: the District, Piccadilly, Circle, and Hammersmith & City Lines, ensuring fast and direct connections across the capital, including to Heathrow Airport. It also boasts a vast bus station, provides quick access to the motorway, and features the iconic Hammersmith Bridge, very popular with cyclists.
