Hammersmith Creek was an outflow river of the Stamford Brook, and used to run through what is now King Street, into the River Thames at the present-day site of Furnivall Gardens in Hammersmith.

In 1936, after the decline of the creek harbour, the creek was filled in and the water channelled through an underground culvert.
