The Hammersmith flyover is an elevated roadway which carries the A4 arterial road over the central Hammersmith gyratory system.

The flyover links the Cromwell Road extension (Talgarth Road) with the start of the Great West Road.

Completed in 1961, it was built by J&J Dean, a London-based civil engineering contractor.

Most of the St Paul’s Church churchyard - the oldest parish church of Hammersmith - had to be cleared, including an old wall and many grave markers.

The Hammersmith flyover is one of the first examples of an elevated road built using reinforced concrete.



The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.

The aim of the project is to find the location every street in London, whether past or present, and tell its story. This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.

The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades.
