Spanning the banks of the Thames to Barnes stands the majestic Hammersmith Bridge. Combining the best of Victorian decorative style with the heavy, purposeful, industrial structure favoured by the era. It was built in 1887 and is one of the world's oldest suspension bridges. It is a Grade II* listed structure made of wood and wrought iron with the suspension held in place by cast iron pedestals. It is part of Britain’s engineering heritage and a national landmark and it had to close to traffic several years ago.
 
On the banks of the Hammersmith side sits Lower Mall, with its variety of architectural styles and uses from boathouses to public houses. Several historic pubs sit on the banks of this stretch, though few records exist before the implementation of the annual licensing checks of inns, ale houses, taverns and tippling houses in 1715.
 
‘The Blew Anchor’ - now The Blue Anchor would appear to be the oldest licensed Alehouse in the area, licensed on 9th June 1722 to Alehouse keeper Mr. John Savery.
 
'The Doves’ – now The Dove pub, was originally a coffee house, also selling beer, probably from 1730, and was licensed in the 1790's when in 1796 Fuller’s records say the brewery acquired it.
 
The Rutland was built in the 1870's.
