We're Open - COVID-19 Update
We’d like to take a moment to assure all of our valued customers and suppliers that Hammersmith is still open, and fully operational.

Our Brompton store/factory also remains open to walk in customers, although we advise that customers follow social distancing guidelines wherever possible by keeping 1.5m between themselves and other customers/staff and making use of the hand sanitizer made available to them at the reception counter.
