About

Hammersmith and Fulham sits on the north bank of the River Thames in west London and is organised around a series of high streets and riverside stretches. The Hammersmith town centre is anchored by King Street and Hammersmith Broadway, a major road junction and transport interchange. The Lyric Hammersmith and Riverside Studios are local cultural venues. A notable landmark is Hammersmith Bridge, a 19th-century suspension bridge rebuilt in 1887 with its patterned ironwork and towers spanning the river near the borough’s riverside parks.

Fulham occupies the southern part of the borough, where Fulham Palace and its museum sit beside Bishop’s Park and a stretch of riverbank. The area includes Craven Cottage football ground, set close to the water with its riverside pavilion and the Johnny Haynes Stand. Residential quarters mix terraces, mansion blocks and converted industrial sites, while local markets, pubs and independent shops line the main roads, giving the borough a mix of civic, recreational and domestic uses concentrated along the river and transport corridors.
