Hammersmith and Fulham is an inner London borough in west London that hugs the north bank of the River Thames. It includes the riverside neighbourhoods of Hammersmith and Fulham, plus areas such as Shepherd's Bush and White City, with the iconic Hammersmith Bridge linking to Barnes; Hammersmith itself is a major transport interchange served by several Underground lines and busy local roads.
The borough mixes Victorian history and green riverside streets with a lively cultural scene - theatres and music venues sit alongside media and creative offices - and is home to Fulham Football Club at Craven Cottage and the historic Fulham Palace. Economically it ranges from affluent riverside residential pockets to pockets of council housing and active regeneration around shopping and studio developments, giving the area a socially diverse, rapidly changing character.
