The Black Lion Hammersmith is a historic pub near the north bank of the Thames between Hammersmith and Chiswick. Its Grade II listed building dates from the late eighteenth century and retains the atmosphere of a traditional English pub within a quieter riverside neighbourhood.
The kitchen serves freshly prepared pub classics alongside modern dishes and smaller sharing plates. Burgers, fish and chips, pies, pasta, salads and pizza provide a broad selection, with dedicated vegetarian and vegan choices available throughout the menu.
Sunday roasts include beef, chicken, pork belly and a vegetable Wellington. Each is served with roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy, maintaining the familiar format of a substantial British Sunday lunch.
British ales, wine and other drinks support both casual visits and complete meals. The riverside Green House and historic skittle alley provide flexible spaces for celebrations, weddings and group events, while the pub also offers convenient dining before performances at nearby Hammersmith venues.
Address: 2 South Black Lion Lane, Hammersmith, London W6 9TJ, United Kingdom
