Hammersmith is aLondon Underground station inHammersmith,London. It is the western terminus of theCircle andHammersmith & City lines, and the next station towards east isGoldhawk Road. It is located inLondon fare zone 2.
The station is a short walk from thestation of the same name on thePiccadilly andDistrict lines. The two stations are separated by Hammersmith Broadway. They are about 60 m apart (200 ft) door to door, although the positions of the pedestrian crossings on the Broadway makes it farther on foot.[9]
The Circle line has served Hammersmith since 13 December 2009. By June 2011 all of the platforms had been lengthened to accommodate the new and longerS7 Stock trains, that first entered service on the Hammersmith and City Line from the beginning of July 2012. These new trains are seven cars in length instead of the six cars ofC Stock that previously operated.
The present station is situated on Beadon Road and opened on 1 December 1868, replacing the original station slightly north of here which opened on 13 June 1864 when theMetropolitan Railway's extension was built fromPaddington.
The Metropolitan Railway operated a service from Hammersmith toRichmond from 1877 over the lines of theLondon and South Western Railway (lines that are now part of the modernDistrict line) from a junction just north of this station via an adjacent station atHammersmith (Grove Road) and a viaduct connection toRavenscourt Park. Part of this viaduct is still visible from District andPiccadilly line trains west of the Hammersmith station on those lines. The extension closed on 31 December 1906 shortly after the introduction of electric trains on the line.
London Buses day and night routes serve the station and the nearbyHammersmith bus station.
