At Hammersmith and Fulham College, we can trace our roots back as far as 1881 when Hammersmith School of Art and Building was founded in Brook Green (there was also another building located in Lime Grove, in Shepherd’s Bush). As well as textile design, ceramics and print making, students could choose to study plumbing, welding, plastering and brick-laying.
Chelsea College of Art and Design absorbed some of the College’s Arts provision in 1928, when it took on West London College (then sited in Holland Park). At that point, the name of the College became the more recognisable Hammersmith and West London College in 1975.
Ealing, Hammersmith & West London College (also formally known as “Ealing Tertiary College”) is a further and higher education college based across four campuses located in Acton, Ealing, Hammersmith and Southall districts of London, England. The college provides training and development for over 20,000 students from entry level to postgraduate, and is a member of the 157 Group a consortium of 29 of the UK’s largest FE Colleges. The main campus of the college is situated on the north side of the busy A4 dual-carriageway, between Hammersmith and Earls Court.
In January 2002, Hammersmith and West London College merged with Ealing Tertiary College to form Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College. However, each of our Colleges have their own histories which have helped define us as an institution – wherever we can, we have added links so that you can read more about them.
