You can still see an outfall but the last open vestiges of the Brook and Hammersmith Creek were covered over In the 40’s. For most the the only reminder it ever it existed is in the name of the Station between Turnham Green and Ravenscourt Park on the District line One of London’s lost rivers. http://www.londonslostrivers.com/stamford-brook.html Stamford Bridge (or strictly the grassy bit in Walham Green nearby) might have a more widespread group of people aware of its location. Stamford Bridge is over Counter's Creek, /Billingswell Ditch/Pool's Creek/Kensington Canal and is nothing to do with Stamford Brook, apart from each coming down opposite sides of Wormwood Scrubs. https://stephenliddell.files.wordpre...int-copy_3.jpg or Stamford Hill for that matter.
