Shepherd's Bush is located in West London, within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It is recognised for its cosmopolitan character, with a blend of residential streets, bustling commercial centres, and a rich cultural history shaped by waves of migration over the last century. The area is best known for the iconic Westfield London shopping centre—one of Europe’s largest retail destinations—and the historic Shepherd’s Bush Empire, a famous music and events venue. Much of the housing comprises Victorian and Edwardian terraces, some converted into flats, which contributes to the neighbourhood’s period charm mixed with modern development.
