Shepherd's Bush is an area east of Acton and west of Holland Park. Its centre is the triangular Shepherd's Bush Green, which is lined by many shops and restaurants. Shepherd's Bush is also a bus terminus, with a depot, and many services turning round on the green.

There are two tube stations called Shepherd's Bush, the one at the apex of the green facing the new Warner Cinema complex is the Central Line station. Following the Uxbridge Road westwards towards Acton takes you to a railway bridge, where the Hammersmith and City Line station is. There is a third station at the remaining corner of the green, Goldhawk Road, also on the Hammersmith and City Line.

Shepherd's Bush is still the home of the Walkabout Club, a famous hangout for Aussies and Kiwis.

There is also a large Muslim community to the west of the green, mainly Arabs, but also Egyptians, Lebanese and Syrians.

It has a new multi-screen Warner cinema, Safeway supermarket, and is within a short walk from Olympia Exhibition Centre and Holland Park. To the north is White City, considered part of Shepherd's Bush, home of the BBC.

Parallel to and underneath the Hammersmith and City Line is a market, which operates every day except Sunday. On sale is mainly bric-a-brac, ethnic jewellery and clothes. IMO the market does not have anything special to offer so does not warrant its own page --IvorW

Shepherds Bush has a football and rugby ground: Loftus Road Stadium which is home to Queens Park Rangers and Fulham Football Club (temporarily).
