The Blue Anchor is a pub at 13 Lower Mall, Hammersmith, London, that dates from 1722. The pub was first licensed on 9 June 1722 to a Mr. John Savery. It was originally called the Blew Anchor and Washhouses, but they gave up washing at some point. On 7 January 1789, a whole sheep, bought for sixteen shillings, was roasted outside. In the Victorian era, various partitions were added to the interior, but they have been removed. There is a "rather sombre" collection of artefacts from the First World War. Gustav Holst was a frequent visitor, and composed his Hammersmith Suite there.
