'''Hammersmith''' is a town in the [[London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham]] in west [[London]]. It is situated to the south of [[Shepherd's Bush]], on the north side of the [[River Thames]].
A bustling commercial and transport centre, Hammersmith is home to two shopping malls, as well as the offices of [[Coca-Cola]], [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]], [[EMI]], [[L'Oreal]], [[Sony Ericsson]] and [[AOL | AOL UK]], among others. Hammersmith's pedestrianised riverside is popular for its many pubs, and excellent views of the river and its annual [[Boat Race]].

The area is on the main A4 [[trunk road]] heading west from central London towards the M4 [[motorway]] and [[Heathrow Airport]]. The A4, a busy commuter route, passes over the area's main road junction, Hammersmith Broadway, on a long viaduct, the [[Hammersmith Flyover]]. [[Hammersmith Bridge]], the first [[suspension bridge]] over the [[River Thames]], carries traffic to and from [[Barnes]] and South-West London.▼
