Schools in Hammersmith and Fulham, London
Home to three professional football clubs (Chelsea, Fulham, and Queens Park Rangers), Hammersmith and Fulham shapes West London's sporting and cultural character. Formed in 1965 from the merger of the former Metropolitan Boroughs of Fulham and Hammersmith, the borough hosts leading international corporate offices and multinational company headquarters around the Great West Road and the Westway corridor. Around 185,000 people now live across the area, which consistently ranks among the UK's most expensive boroughs for residential property.
Brook Green stands out as among the most sought-after pockets for primary school competition, with Shepherds Bush and Hammersmith forming the strongly school-competitive neighbourhoods where families focus their carefully considered educational choices. Schools drive family decisions. The District and Circle tube lines serve the borough, connecting to Central London via multiple stations.
