Hammersmith Area Information

Well within the reach of Central London, Hammersmith's handy position in Zone 2 makes it popular with professional tenants, wealthy students and families alike. Renting an apartment in this smart sector of West London puts its residents squarely in touch with a flourishing pub culture and arts hub. Any district that has the River Thames as one of its borders is bound to attract interest and Hammersmith is the quintessential riverside suburb. The eclectic High Street that contains coffee shops, theatres and music venues is set back from the river and therefore avoids crowding the waterfront with too much commerce.

Along the Thames pathway, a string of picturesque pubs provide great views of the river with its leafy shoreline and graceful Victorian suspension bridge. Hammersmith enjoys fast and efficient links with the City via a route that was actually built for that very purpose. The Hammersmith & City line passes through Westfield Shopping City, Paddington (with its express link to Heathrow) and the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras on its way into Liverpool Street. Two other lines connect Hammersmith to the heart of the West End; namely the Piccadilly and District lines.

There are many examples of expansive period architecture to choose from when looking for a rental property in W6. Red brick Victorian terraces form the majority but there is a sprinkling of Georgian homes especially near the river. Exciting new developments like Sovereign Court and Fulham Reach at the Fulham end of Hammersmith have also added to the property mix. Wherever you stay in Hammersmith, you will be able to quickly access the M4 motorway which is convenient for expeditions to the countryside or business trips Heathrow Airport or the many multinational companies that make up the M4 corridor.
