Chancellors, Hammersmith

In a building dating from the 1850s, this is a friendly & unpretentious locals' pub, which makes it perhaps stand out from the more upmarket establishments in Hammersmith. The bar is located round three sides of a square and the decor is largely dark wood and black banquette seating. The pub is opposite the Riverside Studios site, and its walls feature black and white photos of British film and TV stars from the fifties to the nineties, a heaven for nostalgia fans.

For a few years from 2020 the pub was pretty much transformed under its new owner, Carl McCluskey. He took over the pub from his grandmother and launched a pizza range, "Crisp Pizza W6" which received rave reviews and generated queues at the door. To capitalise on this success, he and the pizza operation moved to larger premises at the Marlborough pub in northern Mayfair in late 2025. As of date of this entry the kitchen & food offering at this site are under review. And as of summer 2025 it was reported that cask ale is no longer on offer here.
