Hammersmith Property

Buying advice for property searching in Hammersmith, London

Hammersmith is dominated by the traffic vortex, Hammersmith Broadway, with three major roads and three underground lines travelling through the middle of it. The result is that there are several major global headquarters there including Coca-Cola and Disney.

From a residential point of view, Hammersmith is really a collection of smaller neighbourhoods which vary in price and style of house. Along the river, towards Chiswick Mall, are Georgian houses looking over towards Barnes. Once you cross over the A4 and beyond King Street (the main shopping street in Hammersmith), it is dotted with properties from the 1820s, notably St Peter's Square, with its 5 to 6 bedroom stucco-fronted houses over the garden square. To the north is Ravenscourt Park. Both this and the area the estate agents like to call Brackenbury Village, back onto Shepherds Bush, the less prepossessing neighbour.

For larger houses closer to Kensington there is Brook Green which represents good value compared with its smarter neighbour, with large detached and semi-detached houses of 3,000 to 4,000 square feet.

Transport is generally good either by road or underground with the choice of District, Piccadilly and Hammersmith and City lines. Hammersmith lies astride the A4, the main arterial road to the west which makes Heathrow easy, though the general gridlock afflicting London as a whole often feels like it is focused on that road.
