Public houses of Hammersmith
Being Londoners ourselves, at Cozee, we hold a strong bond with our regular visits to the local pub every week. Why should your experience be any different in your new home? That’s why we’ve thoroughly tested and reviewed all the pubs in Hammersmith. While we didn’t get the chance to personally visit each one, we certainly wish we could have. Here’s the curated list of the finest pubs in Hammersmith.
| Pub name Name | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Andover Arms | 57 Aldensley Road Hammersmith W6 0DL | This 1853 backstreet local is situated in the centre of the (estate agents’) “Brackenbury Village”, adding to its rural feel. Acquired by Fuller’s from Watney’s in 1991, the pub has undergone limited changes since, including combining the bars into one room, opening up the kitchen and extending into the former yard at the rear. |
| Anglesea Arms | 35 Wingate Road Hammersmith W6 0UR | Corner local in Brackenbury Village dating from 1866 and which headed upmarket after a 1996 refurbishment. It is still a local but now more food-led with a restaurant/eating area at rear of bar. Four handpumps of which at least two should be on at any one time, see pub website for real ales of the week. Head chef Philip Harrison won the Fuller’s 2016 Great Sausage Roll Off with a pheasant, black pudding puree and turnip salad creation! |
| Black Lion | 2 South Black Lion Lane Hammersmith W6 9TJ | Grade II listed 16th-century inn very close to the river and visible from it, attracting tourists on their riverside walks. The large beer garden can seat 200, is home to a 400-year-old chestnut tree and hosts Sunday lunchtime barbecues. But the skittle alley which used to be at the back of the pub has now sadly disappeared to become a function area. |
| Blue Anchor | 13 Lower Mall Hammersmith W6 9DJ | This riverside pub close to rowing clubs and Hammersmith Bridge was first licensed in the mid-19th century and should not be confused with an earlier tavern of the same name although the present pub website claims a site licence from 1722! Gustav Holst, when music master of nearby St Paul’s School, is reputed to have composed his Hammersmith Suite on the premises. Quiz night Wednesday. Four real ales normally available. |
| Blue Boat | Distillery Wharf, Parr’s Way Hammersmith W6 9RU | An impressive new Fuller’s pub opened in March 2015 on the riverside, at the back of a new St. George’s housing development at Fulham Reach, and off the top end of Fulham Palace Road quite close to Hammersmith Broadway. |
| Brook Green Hotel | 170 Shepherds Bush Road Hammersmith W6 7PB | On this site stood the Barley Mow until 1886, when the pub was rebuilt and renamed the Brook Green, just two years prior to its purchase by Young’s. The word “Hotel” was appended when the letting rooms were added. The bar is spacious, high-ceilinged and airy, with big windows looking across Brook Green and down Shepherds Bush Road from the imposing corner site. Its decor and furnishing are a comfortable blend of Victoriana and modernity. At one end is a grand fireplace (complete with a log fire in the season) sporting a mirrored overmantle; at the other some stripped brickwork. In between is a long bar counter with an attractive mirrored mahogany back bar. Furniture consists of leather-style banquettes and upholstered chairs and stools at both high and low tables, together with some leather settees. Breakfast available from 7am on weekdays and 8am at weekends and food service, with enticing menu items at reasonable prices, continues throughout the day. But note that the licence here does not permit alcohol sale to the public until 10am. There is a separate basement cocktail bar, Smith’s, offering only bottle beers, and 17 ensuite hotel rooms on the floors above. |
| Carpenter’s Arms | 91 Black Lion Lane Hammersmith W6 9BG | First opened as a public house in 1871, owned by the Thomas Salt and Co Brewery. Now a cosy gastropub with secluded courtyard garden; the pub has attracted very good independent reviews for its food, e.g. serial entries in the Good Food Guide. Locals would be forgiven for keeping very quiet about this hidden gem, although the emphasis here is not on real ale; the excellent menus change daily. One ale was reported at our last update; further news welcome. |
| Chancellors | 25 Crisp Road Hammersmith W6 9RL | In a building dating from the 1850s, this was a friendly & unpretentious locals’ pub, which made it perhaps stand out from the more upmarket establishments in Hammersmith. The bar is located round three sides of a square and the decor is largely dark wood and black banquette seating. The pub is opposite the Riverside Studios site, and its walls feature black and white photos of British film and TV stars from the fifties to the nineties, a heaven for nostalgia fans. Two real ales and a range of lager pumps. Post-pandemic, the pub has been pretty much transformed under its new owner. Carl McCluskey took over the pub from his grandmother in 2020 and launched a pizza range, initially as a pandemic-era takeaway. His “Crisp Pizza W6” offering has received rave reviews and international attention, with queues of customers sometimes snaking back to the Apollo. It’s walk-in only for seats, no reservations. Pizzas available Thursday evenings and Friday to Sunday from 1pm to 9pm. |
| Crabtree | Rainville Road Hammersmith W6 9HA | Spacious Thames-side pub in the back streets half a mile from Fulham football ground, rebuilt in 1898 by Sich’s Lamb brewery of Chiswick. The split-level bar with restaurant at rear has a high-vaulted ceiling and some plush furniture including leather banquettes. A large patio/garden area overlooks the river and affords a view of the annual Varsity Boat Race; weeping willows and parasols provide shade. Occasional events include Meet the Brewer – see website and social media. Quiz night is Tuesday. |
| Craft Beer Co. | 17-18 Broadway Shopping Centre Hammersmith W6 9YD | Following a period of closure this site was taken over by the Craft Beer Co and reopened in 2019, having had a major refurbishment to create a “modern pub with old-school pub values and real hospitality at its core”. |
| Cross Keys | 57 Black Lion Lane Hammersmith W6 9BG | Very much a traditional pub in the exclusive St Peter’s Square area of Hammersmith, the Cross Keys attracts a mixed clientèle. Long owned by Fuller’s, its handpumps used to serve exclusively London Pride, but now a Dark Star Pale Ale, or possibly a guest ale, is usually also offered. From the narrow frontage, with its attractive garden, two doors lead into the single room, wood panelled, with its anaglypta papered ceiling supported on slender iron columns. To the left, a rare sight in today’s London pubs, is a dart board. Beyond the bar, the room opens out and leads to the two rear gardens separated by “The Barn”, which can be reserved for functions. A short, but attractive, menu offers up-market pub-grub at modest prices for the area; it includes Sunday roasts. The kitchen may stay open late on the popular Thursday Quiz Night and the pub’s website has occasional offers. |
| Dartmouth Castle | 26 Glenthorne Road Hammersmith W6 0LS | 1867 corner pub with a comfortable lounge bar which has an exceptional Victorian bar-back. The interior is noted by CAMRA as being of some regional importance; note the dumb waiter, still in working order. The side patio is covered over in the winter. The food offering includes a Mediterranean-inspired main menu. The pub is close to the Hammersmith tube stations and may become crowded in early evenings. |
| Distillers | 64 Fulham Palace Road Hammersmith W6 9PH | This is a corner Fuller’s pub, close to the new ‘Fulham Reach’ property development, with a curved frontage and named after Haigs Gin Distillery, which stood nearby; perhaps oddly named since it was originally a beer house and could not sell wine or spirits. It still retains some original glasswork from the 1906 rebuild by Royal Brewery of Brentford. Large patio/terrace area attractively furnished & with its own BBQ & bar area. Large can & bottled beer range plus numerous craft beers on draught, two real ales and three ciders some of which CAMRA defines as real; following a mini-refurb in mid-2018, a feature of the bar is two 880-pint tanks of Frontier lager. Changing weekly menu and semi-open kitchen. Comedy, live music, quiz, open mic and band nights. Winner of the Outstanding Achievement category in Fuller’s 2015 pub of the year contest, The Griffin Trophy. |
| Dove | 19 Upper Mall Hammersmith W6 9TA | One of London’s Real Heritage Pubs, the main bar area is on a raised level with a tiny public bar at the front, the smallest area for any London bar at around 33 square feet. However, research suggests that this bar is not very ancient and was installed some time after 1911 by the then licensee who mistakenly thought his pub layout contravened the Licensing Consolidation Act of 1910 and hurriedly created the tiny snug. |
| Duchess | 320 Goldhawk Road Hammersmith W6 0XF | Large, airy corner pub, rebuilt 1928 and now providing two distinct areas with a small decked beer garden to one side. Now owned by Ei and a tenancy within their True Pub operation. |
| Duke of Cornwall | 48 Fulham Palace Road Hammersmith W6 9PH | Reverted to its original name as part of a 2004 refurbishment after a spell as a Finnegan’s Wake Irish theme pub. A large single bar with large screen TV; it can be very busy and noisy in the evening. Close to Hammersmith Apollo (formerly Odeon). |
| Duke of Hammersmith | 238 Shepherds Bush Road Hammersmith W6 7NL | Following the acquisition by BrewDog of the small Draft House chain of London pubs, this one has been renamed the Duke of Hammersmith: external signage still includes the original name, the Laurie Arms, and the “Beer Here” sign put up by the previous owners. |
| Grove Tavern | 83 Hammersmith Grove Hammersmith W6 0NQ | Renamed at the end of 2022, this is a gastropub but described on its website as “taken back to being a traditional London pub serving good quality food and drink”. There is a bar-snacks menu as well as the main dining menu. The first-floor bar is available for bookings. Comedy nights (entrance fee). Normally three real ales plus a good range of bottled beers. At busy dining times drinkers-only may be encouraged to sit outside. Additional outdoor seating has been provided by the conversion of a kerbside parking bay. |
| Hammersmith Ram | 81 King Street Hammersmith W6 9HW | Originally the Great Angel, then the Angel from 1786, this pub was next renamed the Builders Arms (a name transferred from a closed pub on Hammersmith Bridge Road) following its acquisition by Young’s from Fuller’s in 1966. The present pub name dates from 1996. Last refurbed in autumn 2022, there are now six handpumps (though offering perhaps just four different real ales) and a new menu is on offer including the “Ham Ram Breakfast” and Sunday roasts. There is a small enclosed beer garden to the side, providing an outdoor haven away from the traffic. |
| Hop Poles | 17-19 King Street Hammersmith W6 9HR | The present Grade II listed building, with its striking granite-faced frontage on Hammersmith’s high street, featuring bow windows at the entrances, dates from 1857. Records of earlier public houses on the site go back to 1798 and names included the Manchester Arms and later the Three Hop Poles. The cavernous interior, once divided into many rooms, retains some of its original features: remnants of partitioning, slender scroll-topped columns supporting the ornately decorated high ceiling and some glasswork and mirrors can all be seen. An island bar, with an attractive back-bar, serves all areas of the ground floor. Contrary to the old signs in the windows, this is no longer a free house. The four handpumps generally offer Sharp’s Doom Bar and a changing ale. A Lilley’s cider may occupy another handpump. The menu focusses on pizza, tapas, burgers and sharing plates: see the pub’s website for special offers. TV screens show freeview broadcasts, occasionally including sports events. Thursday is Quiz Night starting at 7pm. |
| Latymers | 157 Hammersmith Road Hammersmith W6 8BS | Opened in 1988 as part of a slightly earlier office block. A smartly refurbished lounge bar with a large, circular, art deco mirror, which was salvaged from a cinema, in the centre of the ceiling. The food trade is very strong at lunchtimes and there is a separate restaurant at the rear serving English and Thai food. The original pub on the site, the Red Cow, was pulled down in 1981 having been popular with those involved in 1960s motor racing. It was also a music venue, having played host to the Jam. |
| London Corinthian Sailing & Sons of the Thames Rowing Clubs | 60 Upper Mall Hammersmith W6 9TA | The two clubs, the London Corithian Sailing Club (lcsc.org.uk) and the Sons of the Thames Rowing Club (sonsrowing.com) share the impressive Grade II listed Linden House. The LCSC was established in 1894 and managed to co-purchase the freehold of the building in 1999. The long-term aim of the clubs is for Linden House to become West London’s premier water sports venue. The bar, on the first floor, facing the river and comfortably furnished, serves two real ales from Fuller’s as well as various keg beers. Superb home-cooked food is offered. The opening hours given above vary seasonally and according to tide and sailing conditions: the LCSC website gives details. The various rooms at Linden House, from the large Ballroom to the intimate Commodore’s Room may be hired for events, with or without catering: see the Linden House website. |
| Old City Arms | 107 Hammersmith Bridge Road Hammersmith W6 9DA | Reopened on August 18th 2023 after a short period of closure for refurbishment following a change of management. The refurb retained the interior layout of the pub together with its pool tables and (increasingly unusual in West London) dart board. |
| Old Ship | 25 Upper Mall Hammersmith W6 9TD | This is a pleasant riverside pub with good views up and down the Thames, renovated in early 2018. A veranda and railed-in patio area are at the front. Inside, there is a large lounge bar with modern decor and a separate side restaurant; the first-floor patio gives a good view of the Boat Race. A children’s play area is handily close by. Normally two ales are available but this may dwindle to one at busy times; further updates welcome. |
| Pear Tree | 14 Margravine Road Hammersmith W6 8HJ | Dating to the 1800s and tucked away in the back streets of Hammersmith behind Charing Cross hospital, the Pear Tree is one of the oldest buildings in the area. The interior maintains the traditional cosy feel we associate with family-run pubs, with comfortable furniture, real fires and a huge back garden. Originally the Pear Tree Inn, the pub again offers accommodation in five bedrooms, one of them with en-suite facilities. The food is of a superior but homely quality: the bargain Sunday roast is very popular and can run out early. A bar snack menu is offered as well as the main meals. Note restricted weekday opening hours. |
| Plough & Harrow | 120-124 King Street Hammersmith W6 0QU | On the site of an inn established in 1419 and, more recently, a Rolls Royce showroom, the present light and airy Wetherspoon pub on Hammersmith’s main shopping street dates from 2002. It has a mixture of stone and carpeted floors and a long metal-topped bar with ten handpumps, more than half of them devoted to an ever-changing range of guest ales, generally including a choice of light and dark brews. Look out for the well-advertised beer festivals. Several tables can be found on the pavement in front of the pub and rather more on the verandah to the side, at some of which smoking is permitted. The usual Wetherspoon menu offers breakfast from 8am, but service of alcoholic drinks begins at 9am. The upper floors are occupied by a Holiday Inn Express. |
| Prince of Wales Townhouse | 73 Dalling Road Hammersmith W6 0JD | Following an extensive refurbishment of its interior and garden, the pub reopened in 2020 with a new name, incorporating its likely original one, the Prince of Wales, becoming ‘his’ Townhouse. Presently there are connections with the well-regarded Big Smoke Brewery, with its small chain of pubs in London and South-east England, with the Laine Brewery, continuing from its earlier role, and with Punch. (Both Laine and Punch are ultimately owned by US bank Fortress Investment Group). |
| Queens Head | 13 Brook Green Hammersmith W6 7BL | The pub dates from at least 1722 and there is a charming picture of its interior in 1839 from Faulkner’s History of Hammersmith. Now it is a large but cosy establishment on the famous Brook Green, which was called the Maidenhead until rebuilt in 1812. Upmarket and much larger than the frontage suggests, with several drinking and eating areas stretching back to the rear beer garden, which is worth a visit in itself – note the proper trees. Formerly patronised by Sir Henry Irving and William Morris. Note the pub sign, a nod to the original image used on the world’s first postage stamps in 1840. |
| Raven | 375 Goldhawk Road Hammersmith W6 0SA | Larger than it looks from the street, this friendly local has a large eating area and pleasant courtyard at the rear. It is very handily placed opposite Stamford Brook tube and on the 237 bus route. It is run by Ealing-based MC Bars. The food menu includes pub classics plus tapas dishes and Sunday roasts. As of our last update, the pub offers three cask ales. Further updates welcome. The Raven offers Chiswick Calendar Club Card holders 10% off drinks at any time. |
| Richmond | 55 Shepherds Bush Road Hammersmith W6 7LU | Sizeable pub site with a large island bar. Very much a pub serving its local community; two real ales plus one unused handpump. Pizza food offering. Sunday night quiz at 8.30. The opening hours here have been stated as incorrect but correspond with the venue website. Check before visiting. |
