Hammersmith

BBC Television Centre Tours

Hammersmith
When it comes to a seriously great entertainment, interesting shops and eating and drinking with a cosmopolitan flavour, the world comes to us! This is where you can enjoy the best pubs, restaurants and music venues in London.  

People flock here to the river too, for the Thames is just five minutes’ walk from Hammersmith tube. They come in their thousands to watch the Oxford- Cambridge Boat Race every Easter and or for summer peace and quiet, rowing or sailing, eating and drinking in old-world riverside pubs and walking it off again strolling along the Thames Path. 

Handily placed for business, pleasure and leisure just a short tube ride from either central London or Heathrow.  

Fulham
Fashionable and stylish, yet still refreshingly down-to-earth, this is where you’ll spot famous faces in the crowd, where you can shop and eat in the elegance and chic of the Kings Road and yet still find a convenient supermarket or good old fashioned pub.  

Shopping in Fulham provides a welcome relief from the usual selection of humdrum   high street names. From antiques to Harley Davidson motorcycles, dazzling lighting to designer fashions. 

Shepherds Bush
A racy, pacey slice of London life that’s picked up its flavour from just about every different culture in the world.  

Entertainment hotspot, home of the BBC Television Centre, melting pot of slick young things, multi-ethnic character and shrewd old London charm – think of it as you will, “the Bush” has got to be one of the liveliest corners of the Capital to visit, to live or to work

Must see and do
