Student Accommodation in Hammersmith

Student housing in Hammersmith

Hammersmith sits right on the river, a few stops out from central London but still deep in zone 2, which makes it one of the more sorted bases for anyone splitting their week between lectures and everything else. Searching for student housing in Hammersmith on Housr means you can filter by price, bedrooms, and bathrooms, then check the map before you commit to a single viewing.

What's around Hammersmith

King Street is the area's spine, running past Livat Hammersmith (the shopping centre formerly known as Kings Mall) with its supermarkets, cafés, and everyday shops. A few minutes further and you're at Eventim Apollo, one of London's biggest music venues, or the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, which runs a full programme of new writing and classic revivals year-round.

For green space, Ravenscourt Park is a short walk or one stop on the District line, with tennis courts, a paddling pool, and enough grass to actually sit on between deadlines. The river itself is close too. The Thames towpath by Hammersmith Bridge is good for a run or just clearing your head after a long library session.

Getting around

Hammersmith is a proper transport hub, not just a stop you pass through. There are two separate underground stations a short walk apart: one serves the District and Piccadilly lines, the other (entered from Beadon Road) serves the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines. Between them, you've got quick links across most of London.

The bus station above Hammersmith Broadway covers routes 9, 27, 72, 190, 211, 220, 267, 295, and 306, plus night buses, while a second set of stops below street level covers routes 110 and 218. If you're cycling, the towpath and Fulham Palace Road both offer a flatter, quieter route into central London than most parts of the city manage.

Universities near Hammersmith

Imperial College London already has a foothold here. Its Charing Cross campus, home to the Faculty of Medicine and Charing Cross Hospital, sits about a ten-minute walk from Hammersmith station along Fulham Palace Road. Imperial's main South Kensington campus is a direct 15-minute ride away on the Piccadilly line, so students on non-medical courses are still well within reach.

University of West London's campus sits across Ealing and Brentford, reachable in around 13 minutes on a direct District line train to Ealing Broadway. It's a straightforward, one-line commute rather than a cross-city trek. See our University of West London page for more on studying there. Between the two, student housing in Hammersmith puts you within easy reach of either campus without having to move house every term.
