Why Live in Hammersmith?
Hammersmith has a reputation for being practical, lively and attractive without losing its local feel. It is a major transport hub, but step away from Hammersmith Broadway and you quickly find quiet residential streets, garden squares, riverside pubs, independent cafés, family homes and leafy conservation areas.
One of the biggest attractions is the variety. Around King Street and Hammersmith Broadway you have shops, restaurants, offices and transport links. Around Brackenbury Village there is a calmer, almost village-like atmosphere with Victorian houses, neighbourhood cafés and a strong family feel. Brook Green offers elegant streets, open green space and easy access towards Kensington Olympia and Holland Park.

Hammersmith also works for different stages of life. Young professionals like the transport, nightlife and easy commute. Families value the schools, parks and houses. Landlords benefit from steady tenant demand. Downsizers are drawn to mansion flats and modern apartments close to amenities. This broad appeal is one of the reasons Hammersmith remains such a resilient local property market.
