Introducing Hammersmith

Walk along the river bank at Hammersmith, dotted with waterside pubs, and the atmosphere is more Henley-on-Thames than inner London. Away from the river, the nearby Hammersmith Apollo draws crowds from across the country for its big name comedy and live music acts. On weekends, this pedestrianised riverside draws in families to sprawl on patches of grass, snacking on German fare from King Street.
