Please come along and take part in the fourth and final series of public exhibitions on the scheme to breathe new life into the western end of King Street.
I am grateful to everyone who has given us their views and advice so far. We have listened and improved the scheme with each consultation.
We propose to demolish the ugly Town Hall extension and bring Hammersmith:
Our new civic campus will allow the council to cut building maintenance and rental costs. And by opening up the Town Hall to the public, local start-up businesses and our partner agencies, it will support our mission to modernise the council’s culture and have Hammersmith & Fulham deliver the best public services anywhere.
I hope you will come and see the updated designs at one of our exhibitions at Hammersmith Town Hall.
The exhibitions take place on:
You can also view the latest designs on our website here: www.lbhf.gov.uk/kingstreet

Some of the changes since the last set of proposals were exhibited earlier this year include:
What we’re aiming to do and when
You may recall that this scheme has benefited from the experience and wisdom of three resident volunteers who worked (without pay) as our Independent Town Hall Commissioners.
They’ve worked tirelessly with our architects (Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners) and the developer (A2Dominion) to help deliver a scheme that will benefit our borough for decades to come and significantly improve Hammersmith for all of us. I am particularly grateful for all they’ve done and would like to take this opportunity to thank them.
I hope to see you at one of the exhibitions and look forward to hearing your views and advice.
With warm regards
Cllr Stephen Cowan
Leader of the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham
