Rutland Arms, Hammersmith

The Rutland Arms is a public house at 15 Lower Mall, Hammersmith, London, England, occupying a riverside position on the north bank of the Thames. It opened around 1849 and was rebuilt in the 1870s, giving the building much of its present Victorian character. It has also been known as the Rutland Hotel, reflecting a period when it offered accommodation alongside its drinking and dining trade. During the Blitz, the pub lost its top floor and balcony, a wartime loss that shaped the building's current profile. Today it trades as a Taylor Walker pub, part of the pub estate associated with the Taylor Walker name, and serves a conventional British pub menu and drinks offer to local residents, riverside walkers and visitors to the Hammersmith area. Its Lower Mall address places it among the historic riverside pubs of west London, close to Hammersmith Bridge and the Thames Path.

The Rutland Arms opened around 1849 at 15 Lower Mall, Hammersmith, on the north bank of the Thames in west London. It was rebuilt in the 1870s, a period of extensive pub rebuilding across London, and the building has also been known as the Rutland Hotel, indicating that at some stage it provided lodging as well as a public bar. During the Blitz, the pub lost its top floor and balcony, so the present structure reflects both its Victorian rebuilding and the damage sustained in the Second World War. The pub continues to trade at the same Lower Mall address and is listed on the Taylor Walker pub website, placing it within that pub estate. Its riverside setting near Hammersmith Bridge makes it part of the historic pub landscape of the Hammersmith reach of the Thames.
