Hammersmith & Fulham combines all the very best of London in one borough:
- a thriving cityscape full of commercial opportunity and entrepreneurship
- wonderful parks and open spaces from the glorious terrain of Wormwood Scrubs to the delightful Bishop’s Park
- a two-mile stretch of the Thames flowing under the iconic Hammersmith Bridge
- seven superb theatres catering to all tastes including the world-famous Hammersmith Eventim Apollo
- three professional football teams (Chelsea, Fulham and QPR)
- great connections with 15 tube stations and direct rail links to Heathrow and Gatwick
- superb open-air markets such as at Shepherds Bush and North End Road
- the site of a globally-esteemed university (Imperial College London)
- dozens of impressive schools and a wide choice of property for making a home

Most importantly, our greatest asset is our 185,000 local residents- they're a rich diversity from across the world who have made H&F their home and brought their cultures with them. H&F Council is proud to serve them and fulfil everyone’s needs, including everything from free home social care to a commitment to zero carbon emissions by 2030. So it is truly the best borough to visit, work and live in.
