Hammersmith & Fulham
A 16th-century palace, an imposing Victorian prison, a glorious suspension bridge – Hammersmith & Fulham is a borough full of architectural interest.
North-wise, it stretches past the Westway up to East Acton. Its southern border is shaped by the curve of the Thames. Along the river, you’ll find the genteel Fulham Palace and historic Fulham Football Club. Crossing it is Sir Joseph Bazalgette’s Hammersmith Bridge, one of the world’s oldest suspension bridges.
White City’s greyhound track is gone and BBC Television Centre has closed, but Shepherd’s Bush Market, founded in 1914, continues to thrive under the railway arches.
The borough is also home to Wormwood Scrubs – the name given to both the notorious Victorian prison and the borough’s newest and largest open space.
