Hammersmith
is a district in west London, England, located in the London Borough of
Hammersmith and Fulham. It is bordered by Shepherds Bush to the north, Kensington
to the east, Chiswick to the west, and Fulham to the south, with which it forms
part of the north bank of the River Thames. It is linked by Hammersmith Bridge
to Barnes in the southwest. The area is one of west London's key commercial and
employment centres, and has for some decades been the main centre of London's Polish
minority. It is a major transport hub for west
London, with two London Underground stations and a bus station at Hammersmith
Broadway. In the early 1660s, Hammersmith's first parish church, which later
became St Paul’s, was built by Sir Nicholas Crispe who ran the brickworks in
Hammersmith. It contained a monument
to Crispe as well as a bronze bust of King Charles I by Hubert Le Sueur. Source
