Hammersmith – 6 Quirky Facts
- I’m A Celebrity…
Famous folk to have called Hammersmith home include; Lord Seb Coe, Dame Helen Mirren, Hugh Grant, Bill Bailey, Tom Hardy, The Clash, Michael Gove, Benedict Cumberbatch, James May, Miranda Hart, Vidal Sassoon, Dame Diana Rigg, Emilia Fox, Stuart Pearce and Gandhi (yup, he lived on Baron’s Court Road while studying in England). - Not Just Pretty Wallpaper
William Morris is most celebrated for his wallpaper and interior designs but during his time living in Hammersmith he became something of a maverick socialist revolutionary, often giving impromptu political speeches “I want a real revolution… a great organic mass of well regulated forces used for the bringing about a happy life for all”. But he wasn’t altogether connected with the ‘common man’ and wrote of one of his speeches, “This audience [was] quite mixed, from labourers on their Sunday lounge to ‘respectable’ people coming from church; the latter inclined to grin, the working men listening attentively trying to understand, but mostly failing to do so.” - ‘aving A Bubble
One of London’s most famous venues, built in 1919 the Hammersmith Apollo was originally a roller skating rink. Through its sometimes controversial life it has been a music venue, nightclub and was a major player in the punk scene. Ziggy Stardust (AKA David Bowie) played his last gig there. Today it hosts ‘Live at the Apollo’ and is considered one of the UK’s premier stages for comedy that has seen performances from the UK’s funniest faces. - Tarts!
A number of major companies have set up camp in Hammersmith, one of the first was Hammersmith Bridge, at the time it was the largest suspension bridge in the world and one of the few toll bridges in London that made profit. Island Records was another famous local firm who produced hits for Bob Marley, Spencer Davis Group, Cat Stevens, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Amy Winehouse, Bon Jovi and many more. Also J.Lyons, the fine purveyors of teas, pies, treacle, coffee, cakes and our personal favourites, treacle tarts. - The Right Hump
In 1984 Linver Road and Alderville Road were the first residential streets in Britain to have speed bumps installed. The road safety measures have divided opinion among the nation’s drivers and safety groups ever since. Some campaigners point to the speed reduction as a positive for neighbourhoods, others are concerned that the slowing and speeding increases noise and air pollution. - Oddities
Some quickfire Hammersmith facts; Hammersmith Bridge is London’s lowest bridge and stands only 4 metres above the water (compared to Tower Bridge, 42 metres!). It is home to Chelsea FC, yes, named after another borough, Chelsea FC now belongs to Hammersmith, so when Chelsea say they’ve won the league, it’s actually Hammersmith. The Hammersmith and City line was the first underground trainline in the world.
