Hammersmith has a real sense of place, helped by its position on the river and its mix of old and new. The Thames brings open space and a slower pace, with riverside walks, historic pubs and restaurants, while the centre is lively and well connected.
The housing is just as varied, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and period conversions to mansion blocks and newer riverside apartments. Hammersmith’s excellent transport connections make it easy to get around London, with its Tube network, West Kensington and Kensington Olympia all within easy reach.
Local life has plenty to offer, from a drink at The Swan by the station to an evening by the river at The Dove. We might catch a film at Riverside Studios, see a show at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre or Eventim Apollo, walk across Hammersmith Bridge with friends, or show them the William Morris rooms at Kelmscott House.
It’s this combination of riverside life, culture and everyday convenience that makes Hammersmith such an easy place to settle into.
