Hammersmith sits at the very heart of West London within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, and it is one of the most heavily trafficked districts in the capital. The iconic Hammersmith flyover carries the A4 over the local road network and links central London directly to the M4 motorway, making Hammersmith a pivotal interchange for commuters, HGVs and long-distance travellers heading to and from Heathrow Airport. King Street (A315) runs east–west through the town centre linking Chiswick and Brentford to the west with Kensington to the east. Talgarth Road (A4) leads south-east towards Earl’s Court and Cromwell Road, while the A219 Fulham Palace Road drops south towards Fulham and Putney Bridge. The A402 Shepherd’s Bush Road and the A3220 West Cross Route connect Hammersmith northward to Shepherd’s Bush and the A40 Western Avenue. Hammersmith Bridge – the ornate suspension bridge over the Thames – links the area to Barnes and the South Circular (A205) on the south bank.

If not, we load your car, van, 4×4 or motorbike safely onto a flatbed and deliver it to your home, your preferred garage, or the franchised dealer of your choice – anywhere in London or across the UK.

How Our Hammersmith Recovery Service Works
Getting help is simple. Here are the four steps from your call to being back on the road:
- Call us on 0750 880 0905 – tell us your location, your vehicle type and what has happened. A street name, postcode or a nearby landmark such as “near Hammersmith Broadway station” or “on the A4 approaching the flyover” is enough for us to find you.
- We confirm a fixed price – based on your exact location, vehicle type and the service required. The price we quote before we leave is the price you pay. No callout fee, no membership, no additions on arrival.
- We dispatch the nearest team – a recovery truck or mobile technician heads straight to you. We cover all of London around the clock, so response times are typically fast wherever you are in Hammersmith.
- You’re recovered or repaired – if the fault can be fixed at the roadside we’ll do so there and then. If not, we load your vehicle safely on a flatbed and transport it to wherever you need it to go – home, a local garage, or a dealer of your choice.
