Map & location
Overview
W12 7GF falls within the Shepherd's Bush Green ward of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, close to the famous triangular green that gives the area its name. This part of west London blends residential streets — including terraced Victorian and Edwardian houses — with a busy commercial strip along Uxbridge Road and Shepherd's Bush Market, making it a genuinely mixed urban environment.
The neighbourhood has undergone significant regeneration in recent years, with Westfield London — one of Europe's largest urban shopping centres — anchoring the southern edge of W12. Independent cafés, restaurants serving global cuisines, and long-established market traders all contribute to the area's eclectic character, attracting a diverse community of residents, workers and visitors.

Getting here
Shepherd's Bush Green benefits from excellent public transport connections. Several London Underground lines serve the immediate area, and multiple bus routes run along Uxbridge Road and Shepherd's Bush Road, linking the neighbourhood to central London, Hammersmith, Notting Hill and beyond. Cycling is popular, with Santander Cycles docking stations in the vicinity and dedicated cycle lanes on some local roads. The nearby A40 (Western Avenue) and A3220 provide road access, though traffic can be congested during peak hours.
What it's famous for
Shepherd's Bush is perhaps best known for the BBC's former television centre on Wood Lane, which shaped the area's cultural identity for decades and has since been redeveloped as a mixed residential and creative hub. The neighbourhood is also home to the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, a celebrated live music venue on Shepherd's Bush Green itself, and Bush Theatre, an acclaimed fringe theatre with a national reputation. Westfield London in White City draws millions of shoppers each year and has transformed the local economy.
