Hammersmith Creek was an outflow river of the
Stamford Brook, and used to run through what is now
King Street, into the Thames at the present-day site of
Furnivall Gardens in
Hammersmith.
Until the early 19th century the creek was navigable over this distance, and was the scene of much industry with malt houses and boatbuilders along the banks, as well as being a route for cargo transportation.
However, by the early 20th century the creek was no longer the site of such activity, and it was filled in 1936 with Furnivall Gardens being built on the location in 1951. Today, only a small drainage tunnel visible over the wall at Furnivall Gardens remains as evidence of Hammersmith Creek.
