The Dove is a Grade II listed public house at 19 Upper Mall, Hammersmith, London W6 9TA.[1]

It dates from the early 18th century.[1] A number of historical figures have been associated with the pub beside the Thames. James Thompson is said to have written the words for the 1740 song Rule Britannia! there. The pub appears in the 1930 A. P. Herbert novel The Water Gipsies, loosely disguised as the fictitious The Pigeons.[2]

T. J. Cobden-Sanderson named his Doves Bindery and the Doves Press after the pub.
