Over the years, Hammersmith – a vibrant west London district, has witnessed remarkable transformations. Its metamorphosis isn’t just about the influx of excellent eateries, pubs, and trendy boutiques but it also speaks of the profound socio-cultural shift that has made this district trendy and desirable.

Once known primarily as a bustling industrial hub, Hammersmith has transitioned into an integrated society brimming with cultural diversity. The residents, a beautiful blend of locals, students, and immigrants, bring a unique colour and character to Hammersmith. The evident shift isn’t just confined to the people but it’s also mirrored in the architectural landscape – the classic Victorian houses now stand shoulder-to-shouldly with sleek, modern apartment buildings.

Socio-economic changes have also reflected upon the business landscape of Hammersmith. From small-scale industries, it has now invited the presence of multinational corporations and tech startups setting up their headquarters. The once industrial desolation has now transformed into a bustling tech hub that thrums with creative energy. This change has predominantly been facilitated by infrastructural developments, especially in terms of public transport links. The district now boasts of efficient underground and bus networks, making it easily accessible to both locals and outsiders – thus making Hammersmith a microcosm of the changes taking place in London and, indeed, across the UK.

In all, these changes in this west London district are a testament to Hammersmith’s adaptability, resilience, and evolution in the face of modern life’s ever-changing demands. As the area continues to grow and develop, so too does its eve- increasing appeal to people from all walks of life. Hammersmith, with its eclectic mix of old and new, industry and culture, and tradition and innovation, truly encapsulates the spirit of a dynamic, evolving London.

Let’s get the formalities over and done with. I am a Certified Life Coach, NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner, a professional member of ANLP, and a member of ICF.

I have a lot of life experiences under my belt. I have hitchhiked around Texas as a youngster, visited many countries, and mentored others in the field of education. I also ran my own business providing early years childcare for over 20 years, one of my greatest professional achievements to date.

But hitting my 50s a few years ago, was a pivotal moment. I felt I had lost my sense of identity and to some extent my health.
