Shepherds Bush, W12

Shepherd's Bush is a district of West London in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, situated 4.9 miles (7.9 km) west of Charing Cross. Although it is primarily residential in character, its focus is the shopping area of Shepherd's Bush Green, which has a small shopping centre with a supermarket, cinema and gym, and a large number of small and mostly independent shops.

It is bordered by Hammersmith to the south, by Holland Park (and then Notting Hill) to the east, by Willesden and Harlesden to the north and by Acton and Chiswick to the west.

The area's focal point is Shepherd's Bush Green (or Shepherd's Bush Common), an 8-acre (approx) triangular area of open grass surrounded by trees and roads with shops, and containing two tennis courts at its northwestern apex.

The Green is a hub on the local road network, with four main roads radiating from the western side of the green and three roads approaching its eastern apex, meeting at the large Holland Park Roundabout. This position makes it an important node of the bus network, with thirteen bus routes arriving there. It is also served by three London Underground stations (see Transport below).

To the east, Shepherd's Bush is bounded by the physical barrier to movement of the West London railway line and the grade-separated West Cross Route (part of the aborted 1960s London Motorway Box scheme); the Holland Park Roundabout and the small Addison Bridge to the south are the only ways to cross this barrier from Shepherd's Bush.

Most of the areas to the east of the barrier differ significantly in character, being more associated with Holland Park and Notting Hill - although the Edward Woods Estate just to the northeast of the roundabout is part of and managed by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, and is therefore more closely associated with Shepherd's Bush.
