History

It was built in 1939, and the architect was Donald McMorran of Farquharson and McMorran.[1]

The station closed for in late 2016 to allow for redevelopment to create an expanded facility, including improved horse stables, new custody cells and underground parking. Staff temporarily moved to Shepherds Bush Police Station, where the 24 hour front counter was relocated to, and Chiswick Police Station. It was initially due to reopen in early 2019, although this was later pushed back to spring 2020. The station reopened in October 2020. Staff from Chiswick Police Station moved back to Hammersmith and were also joined by officers from Kensington Police Station as part of the Metropolitan Police BCU model where Hammersmith & Fulham and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea boroughs joined to make one policing area.[2]
