Shepherd's Bush centres on the Green, with Westfield London and White City to the north, the market along the railway viaduct, the Empire and QPR's Loftus Road ground, and streets of terraces running towards Hammersmith and Brook Green.
Westfield's pickup areas and the one-way roads around the Green can be confusing. For hotels and flats near Westfield, give us the building name and the driver will meet you at the right entrance.
We also cover nearby White City, Hammersmith, Holland Park, Acton, Brook Green, East Acton, Notting Hill and Kensington Olympia.
