King Street Hammersmith
London · W6
Amenities
Summary
West London’s principal market street — a wide Victorian commercial artery from Hammersmith Broadway to Ravenscourt Park, with independent traders, the Lyric Hammersmith theatre, and a working west London street market.
About this location
King Street runs west from Hammersmith Broadway through the centre of the Hammersmith commercial district to Ravenscourt Park. The street carries a mix of national chains and independent traders, with a street market element on the pavements and a working-day commercial character. The Lyric Theatre Hammersmith (in the Lyric Square development off King Street) is a producing theatre of national significance, available for separate hire.
The Victorian and Edwardian building fabric gives a west London high street character — above the shopfronts, the Victorian facades are largely intact. The street connects the underground station at Hammersmith to the residential streets to the west, giving it a genuinely used-by-locals character rather than tourist footfall.
For productions, King Street gives a credible west London commercial street — not the photogenic Victorian streets of Notting Hill or Portobello, but the working-day commercial reality of a west London main road. Hammersmith and Fulham Borough Council handles filming permits.
