The estate is named after Queen Caroline of Ansbach, the wife of King George II. She was a highly influential queen consort, known for her intelligence, patronage of the arts, and political influence in 18th-century Britain.

The Queen Caroline Estate was constructed in the 1950s and 1960s as part of post-war efforts to provide modern housing in London. It was designed with a focus on community living and improved amenities for working-class residents.

The estate is situated close to the Hammersmith Bridge, a Grade II listed structure* designed by Joseph Bazalgette and opened in 1887. This bridge is one of London’s most famous suspension bridges and a key connection between Hammersmith and Barnes.

The estate has a well-established Tenants and Residents Association (TRA), which works to support residents, organize events, and advocate for local improvements.

One of the most appealing aspects of the estate is its proximity to the River Thames, offering residents scenic walks and a connection to Hammersmith’s riverside culture.

The estate is close to the Riverside Studios, a renowned arts and media center featuring film screenings, live performances, and creative events.

It is also near The Dove, one of London’s oldest riverside pubs, known for its history dating back to the 17th century.

The estate provides a mix of council and private housing, with a diverse community of residents from different backgrounds, contributing to a vibrant and inclusive neighborhood
