Black Lion Lane is a street in Hammersmith in London running north to south from King Street and finishing by the River Thames.[1] Today located in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, the street takes its name from the Black Lion pub on the riverfront not far from Chiswick Mall.[2] Hammersmith Terrace runs eastwards off it.
Many of the houses date back to the early nineteenth century.[2] The Anglican St Peter's Church opened in the lane in 1829.[3] The Regency era St Peter's Square, laid out in the 1820s, is directly to the west of the lane. The Victorian Westcroft Square is to the north of the lane across King Street. The lane was intersected by the Great West Road in the 1930s and the severed southern end nearest to the Thames (including the Black Lion pub) is now known South Black Lion Lane. A number of the buildings are now listed.[4] [5] The Cross Keys pub is located in the street.
