Hammersmith
Hammersmith is a well-connected pocket of west London built around excellent transport links, strong schools and falling crime. The District and Piccadilly lines run through neighbourhoods like Brook Green, Ravenscourt and West Kensington, while Hammersmith Broadway itself offers two tube stations across three lines plus quick access to the A4 and M4. Good cycling infrastructure runs throughout, and healthcare provision is robust, with several hospitals, GP practices and pharmacies spread across the area. Schools are a real draw for families, with Outstanding-rated primaries and respected names like St Paul's Girls' School, Godolphin & Latymer and Latymer Upper giving the suburb strong appeal for long-term living.
Daily life here is easy, with restaurants, cafés and independent shops dense enough to support a genuine walkable lifestyle, particularly around Hammersmith Broadway and Brook Green. Crime runs below London averages across every neighbourhood and continues to trend downward, while air quality is consistently rated good, a notable plus for inner London. High rates of home working, especially in Grove where nearly 60% of residents work remotely, point to a professional population that values both connectivity and quiet residential streets.
Property prices vary noticeably within Hammersmith, giving buyers a real choice depending on budget. Avonmore, Fulham Reach and West Kensington offer relative value, with flats in West Kensington averaging £536,750, cheaper than neighbouring Earl's Court and Fulham Reach. Ravenscourt and Hammersmith Broadway sit at the premium end, reflecting their transport links and school catchments, while Grove offers more accessible terraced housing alongside rising rents driven by steady professional demand. Whether you're after a period conversion, a riverside flat or a family house near an Outstanding school, Hammersmith's neighbourhoods each bring a slightly different flavour to a consistently well-served, well-connected part of the city.
