A small museum dedicated to William Morris and the works of the Arts and Crafts movement. Not to be confused with much larger Kelmscott Manor near Lechlade-on-Thames in Gloucestershire.
The William Morris Society was founded in 1955 in London, England. The Society's office and museum are located at Kelmscott House, Hammersmith, where Morris lived from 1879 until his death in 1896.

A small park by the Thames in Hammersmith with good views across the river. On the wall of Kelmscott House, adjacent to the park, is a German lamp-post given to Hammersmith and Fulham Council by Willi Brandt in 1966.
A charming green iron and steel suspension bridge designed by Joseph Bazalgette and built in the 1880s. It marks the halfway point on the famous Oxford/Cambridge university boat race. Ordinarily connecting Hammersmith to Barnes on the south bank of the River Thames, the bridge has been declared unsafe due to structural issues which stem partly from the volume of road traffic it carried, far exceeding what Bazalgette could ever have imagined or designed for, and partly due to three separate attempts by the IRA (in 1939, 1996, and 2000) to blow it up which caused damage to the structure without destroying it.
A small museum dedicated to the former typographer Emery Walker who moved to No 7. Hammersmith Terrace from No. 3.
Riverside Studios is a production studio, theatre and independent cinema on the banks of the River Thames in Hammersmith.
Regular performances of Irish music, film and literature, plus Irish art exhibitions.
Beautiful grand auditorium dating to 1895 hidden inside a 1970s concrete box. Hammersmith home for "serious" theatre, mixing old favourites such as Kafka and Shakespeare with premieres of original productions. Usually hosts a popular pantomime over the extended festive season. Not to be confused with its West End namesake, it offers a mix of modern interpretations of Shakespeare, musicals (Spring Awakening was a notable success) and plays that reflect the multicultural nature of its location, in particular serving the Asian and Afro-Caribbean populations of West London.
