Hammersmith Terrace is a block of 17 townhouses backing onto the River Thames and dating from around 1750, when this area was on the outskirts of London. Three of the residences have blue plaques. The calligrapher Edward Johnston, who designed the font used by London Underground, lived at No 3, the typographer and antiquary Sir Emery Walker lived at No 7, and the author and humorist A P Herbert lived and died at No 12.
