Shepherd’s Bush is West London’s hotspot

If you are looking at places to rent or properties for sale in West London, then look no further than Shepherd’s Bush. It’s an exciting area with a diverse community, excellent transport links, impressive schools, superior shopping facilities and fabulous entertainment options. Shepherd’s Bush estate agents, Orchards of London, discuss why this part of London is seeing a resurgence in popularity.

The name Shepherd’s Bush can be found in records dating back to the Iron Age, earning its moniker after becoming a resting place for shepherds on their way to Smithfield Market. More recently, the area was well known for television programmes coming from the Shepherd’s Bush Theatre and BBC Television Centre. For over 50 years the broadcaster’s iconic building dominated the area towards White City and with its departure for Salford, it left behind a brownfield site ripe for redevelopment. Today the multi-billion-pound White City regeneration project – with the Grade II listed circular central structure at its heart – is providing an invigorating boost to W12, with a luxury hotel and private members club, a health club, a swimming pool, a spa and a four-screen cinema complex being lured to the site and providing extra facilities for the community.

More locally it’s the impressive £1.6 billion Westfield Shopping Centre which is the jewel in Shepherd’s Bush’s leisure and social crown. Westfield boasts a myriad of designer stores, a ‘luxury village’ comprising 35 boutiques, a cinema, restaurants, bars, the KidZania educational entertainment experience for children and a full events programme. It’s not all about the mall experience, however, with the Uxbridge Road and Goldhawk Road being excellent alternatives for drinkers, diners and shoppers. If you are looking for live entertainment then head for the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire. It remains a favourite venue among established and emerging performers.

“It’s very much a rounded location,” comments Liam Doherty at Orchards of London’s Shepherd’s Bush office. “The infrastructure is excellent, with five London Underground stations dotted throughout the area in zone 2 and with Crossrail stations planned for nearby Acton mainline, Ealing Broadway and West Ealing, commuting to places such as Heathrow and Reading, for example, will become easier and quicker.” Needless to say properties for sale in Shepherd’s Bush are snapped up swiftly as are the district’s elegant rental properties.

The area has excellent schools and family-friendly facilities, including parks and leisure facilities which allow people to move to Shepherd’s Bush as young professionals and stay within the community as they start a family. “We help just as many people move within Shepherd’s Bush as we are those moving into the area,” adds Liam Doherty. “The ongoing regeneration in Shepherd’s Bush and W12 environs has really encouraged people to stay here and it’s also attracting new people. We would be delighted to help anyone looking to make Shepherd’s Bush their home, as well as those looking to trade up or down in the area.”
