About London - Hammersmith & Fulham
The Western borough of Hammersmith and Fulham lays claim to some gorgeous riverside views, two premiership football teams and a great location for commuting in and around London.
Prices are not cheap here, with a wealthy air to the locals – many of whom reside here due to it’s proximity to the ‘square mile’ and major business in the ‘City’. The area offers all the amenities and activities you’d expect from such an area, with an array of drinking spots and eateries offering food from across the world. Hammersmith is home to the famous Apollo theatre and venue, Riverside Studios and the site of the once famous Palais, now home to the Hammersmith Pure Student Living student accommodation complex. Fulham and West Kensington are both wealthy areas, with plenty of greenery amidst the gastropubs and Victorian architecture that often feature in this area of the city.
