Hammersmith Drawdock

Hammersmith Drawdock is a historic river-access point on the north bank of the Thames at Hammersmith, designated as a Local Building of Merit.

The drawdock provided direct water access and was historically flanked by Gun Wharf on its upstream side and Chancellor's Wharf (later renamed Queen's Wharf) on its downstream side, reflecting the area's once-active commercial waterfront.

Today the drawdock sees only occasional use, though it gained renewed attention when it served as the landing point for a temporary ferry pier installed during the closure of Hammersmith Bridge.

Its sloping access to the river makes it a rare surviving example of traditional Thames river infrastructure in this stretch of west London.
