The origins of the Hammersmith name

The name of Hammersmith probably derives from "Place with a hammer smithy or forge", although, in 1839, Thomas Faulkner proposed that the name derived from two 'Saxon' words: the initial Ham from ham and the remainder from Hythe, alluding to Hammersmith's riverside location. In 1922, it was proposed that the prefix was a personal name, Heahmaer or Haemar, and stating that the suffix must be Anglo-Saxon from -myce, meaning the junction of two rivers, as Hammersmith Creek merged with the Thames here. The earliest spelling is Hamersmyth in 1294, with alternative spellings of Hameresmithe in 1312, Hamyrsmyth in 1535, and Hammersmith 1675.

A little about Hammersmith

In the early 1660s, Hammersmith's first parish church, which later became St Pauls, was built by Sir Nicholas Crispe who ran the brickworks in Hammersmith. It contained a monument to Crispe as well as a bronze bust of King Charles I by Hubert Le Sueur. In 1696 Sir Samuel Morland was buried there. The church was completely rebuilt in 1883, but the monument and bust were transferred to the new church.

Hammersmith Bridge was first designed by William Tierney Clark, opening in 1827 as the first Suspension bridge crossing the River Thames. Overloading in this original structure led to a redesign by Joseph Bazalgette, which was built over the original foundations, and reopened in 1887. In 1984 the bridge received structural support, and between 1997 and 2000 the bridge underwent major strengthening work.

In 1745, James Lee and Lewis Kennedy, established the Vineyard Nursery, over six acres devoted to landscaping plants. During the next hundred and fifty years the nursery introduced many new plants to England, including fuchsia and the standard rose tree.

Major industrial sites included the Osram lamp factory at Brook Green, the J. Lyons factory. During the World Wars, Waring and Gillows furniture factory, in Cambridge Grove, became the site of aircraft manufacture.

Things to see or do in Hammersmith

Riverside Studios is a cinema, performance space, bar and cafe. Originally film studios, Riverside Studios were used by the BBC from 1954 to 1975 for television productions. The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre is just off King Street. Hammersmith Apollo concert hall and theatre, which was formerly the Carling Hammersmith Apollo, the Hammersmith Odeon, and before that the Gaumont Cinema, is just south of the gyratory. The former Hammersmith Palais nightclub has been demolished and the site reused as student accommodation. Countless bands played live at the Hammersmith Palais, with many new wave and Punk bands playing their first large scale gigs there. The closure and demolition of this iconic Hammersmith venue has been criticised by many over the years, and many have stated that it was the end of a musical era, never to be seen again.

The Polish Social and Cultural Association are on King Street. It contains a theatre, an art gallery and several restaurants. Its library has one of the largest collections of Polish-language books outside Poland.

The Dove is a riverside pub with what the Guinness Book of Records listed as the smallest bar room in the world, in 2016 surviving as a small space on the right of the bar. The pub was frequented by Ernest Hemingway and Graham Greene; James Thomson lodged and likely wrote Rule Britannia here. The narrow alley in which it stands is the only remnant of the riverside village of Hammersmith, the bulk of which was demolished in the 1930s. Furnivall Gardens, which lies to the east, covers the site of Hammersmith Creek and the High Bridge.

Leisure activity also takes place along Hammersmith's riverside, home to the pubs of Lower Mall, rowing clubs and the riverside park of Furnival Gardens. Hammersmith has a municipal park, Ravenscourt Park, to the west of the centre. Its facilities include tennis courts, a basketball court, a bowling lawn, a paddling pool, and playgrounds.
