Some
interesting info about Hammersmith and Fulham.
The borough was formed in 1965 by
merging the Metropolitan Borough of Hammersmith and the Metropolitan
Borough of Fulham. It was known as the 'London Borough of
Hammersmith' until its name was changed on 1 January 1979 by the
borough council.
In 1908, the Franco-British Exhibition and Olympic Games were hosted
in the borough, at White City, but the site then took many decades
to be redeveloped. In 1960, the BBC opened the BBC Television
Centre, and in 2008, Westfield London, a large development with new
transport links and a shopping centre, finally completed the
redevelopment after one hundred years.
The borough includes the areas: Fulham,
Hammersmith,
Barons Court,
Hurlingham,
Old Oak Common,
Parsons Green,
Sands End,
Shepherd's Bush,
Walham Green,
West Kensington,
White City,
