Hammersmith hotel

An historic pub, a stately palace, two classic football clubs and a 180 year old boat race; Hammersmith just about offers up the very best of traditional London in one district. Located in the Hammersmith and Fulham borough, this once rural area of West London is now known for its popularity and we offer a range of hotels in Hammersmith for you to enjoy.

Pubs are at the heart of English culture—a place where friends can unwind over a pint of ale and often rant about whatever issue might be bothering them in the news. On the bank of the River Thames in Hammersmith is the Dove Pub which is one of London's most famous. Dating back to the 18th Century, the Dove is decorated with black oak and stone floors and has a terrace overlooking the river. Drink in the history and culture of this location and then maybe stay for another. Not too far from the Dove is the Hammersmith Apollo, a well-known entertainment venue which usually hosts stand up comedy and touring bands from all over the world.

Further down the Thames you can visit Fulham Palace which is the traditional residence of the Bishops of London since the 11th Century. If you visit on a Saturday you might be able to hear the distant roar of the football ground, Craven Cottage. Home to Fulham FC, we highly recommend you watch a game here. But if you can't get tickets you can always watch Queens Park Rangers play at Loftus Road which is just north of Hammersmith.

If you stay in one of our Hammersmith hotels during March or April you might be lucky enough to be in town for The Boat Race. Since 1829 the Oxford University and Cambridge University rowing crews have raced each other down this stretch of the Thames. Leave your Hammersmith hotel early though if you want to catch a glimpse of the action on the riverside.
