Palmer House is the final residential addition to Fulham Reach, an award-winning riverside neighbourhood by St George in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham. Positioned on the banks of the River Thames and approximately three miles west of central London, Fulham Reach combines contemporary residential architecture with the industrial heritage of a site formerly occupied by the Hammersmith Distillery and factories. The wider development has transformed this former brownfield site into a landscaped mixed-use neighbourhood with riverside walks, open spaces, restaurants, cafés and residents’ amenities.
Palmer House offers a collection of Manhattan, one, two and three-bedroom apartments. The building sits beside Frank Banfield Park, with the River Thames only a short walk away and an inviting pedestrian Boulevard immediately outside, lined with cafés, shops and spaces to meet and socialise. This positioning gives residents access to both the greenery of the neighbouring park and the waterfront environment of Fulham Reach, while remaining within a well-established West London neighbourhood. The site plan on page 18 also shows Palmer House positioned directly alongside Frank Banfield Park, with the Boulevard connecting it towards the riverside promenade, Tamesis Club and other Fulham Reach amenities.
A major feature of Fulham Reach is the range of private residents’ facilities. Residents have access to the exclusive Tamesis Club at Distillery Wharf, which includes a swimming pool, health spa, gym, sauna and steam room. Additional leisure facilities include a private cinema room, snooker room and virtual golf, alongside residents’ lounge and entertainment spaces. The development also provides a 24-hour concierge service.
Fulham Reach provides a broad selection of amenities within the development and surrounding area. Restaurants and cafés include Sam’s Riverside, Brasserie Blanc, The Blue Boat and The River Café, while everyday conveniences such as Tesco Express and Bread Lab are also nearby. Riverside Studios, Fulham Rowing Club and other leisure and entertainment venues contribute to the neighbourhood’s lifestyle offering, while destinations including Ravenscourt Park, Fulham Football Club and the Lyric Hammersmith are only minutes away. Frank Banfield Park sits immediately beside Palmer House, providing green space for walking, picnics and outdoor activities.
Connectivity is another significant advantage. Hammersmith Underground Station is approximately a five-minute walk from Fulham Reach and is served by the Piccadilly, District, Circle and Hammersmith & City lines. From Hammersmith, the brochure lists approximate journey times of 10 minutes to Knightsbridge, 15 minutes to Green Park, 16 minutes to Piccadilly Circus, 24 minutes to King’s Cross St Pancras and 32 minutes to Heathrow Airport via the Piccadilly Line. South Kensington can be reached in approximately nine minutes and Paddington in around 13 minutes, providing convenient access to both central London and major transport hubs.
The wider Fulham Reach development has been designed with sustainability and long-term neighbourhood quality in mind. Features include landscaped parkland and green roofs, integrated recycling facilities, water-efficient fittings, enhanced thermal insulation and air-tightness, low-energy lighting and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. Cycle parking and charging points are also incorporated to support sustainable transport. Together with its riverside location, extensive residents’ facilities, neighbouring park and strong Underground connections, Palmer House forms a contemporary residential offering within an established West London waterfront community.
