About the home

Located in a quiet residential street in the heart of Shepherds Bush, west of central London with its excellent public transport links to whisk you around the capital including local buses to Oxford Street, South Kensington and Trafalgar Square to name just a few.

Shepherds Bush has two underground stations - the Central Line which is two minutes walk and the Hammersmith and City Line which is less than five minutes walk away. A feast of restaurants, bars, cafes and pubs are within walking distance so too are plenty of supermarkets catering for all grocery needs. Shepherds Bush is home to the new Westfield London Shopping Centre, Europe's largest covered shopping complex.

The quaint front garden with flowers and shrubs greets you upon arrival and on entering the cottage you cannot help but be impressed by the spacious and bright open-plan contemporary style sitting room and dining area and the very high standard of furnishings and decor throughout.

The sitting room has two large comfortable sofas, feature fireplace, upright piano and TV with multi-channels. The dining area offers seating for five people around a rectangular glass dining table. Just off the dining area is the large and very well equipped brand new kitchen with pine table and chairs. Glass French doors lead you to the back garden with plenty of plants and shrubs plus an additional outside WC.

Upstairs is the master with a queen size bed and the second bedroom has two single beds - both with wardrobe space. The newly fitted bathroom, which is fully tiled in white and blue is complete with both bath and overhead shower as well as basin and WC.

The South East England / Greater London region

South East England is a region rich in experiences. It has something to offer every age group and every traveller. Whether you are looking at visiting for a weekend or a month this region has everything you could want.

London: With over 30,000 shops and stores to choose from, as well as a burgeoning reputation in the fashion world, shoppers will not be disappointed - from designer labels in Bond Street to bustling street markets in Camden, Notting Hill or Brick Lane. The capital also has 400 live music venues, catering for everything from opera to Brit pop and sports fans will not be short of excitement whenever they come. The summer sees the world’s largest classical musical festival at the Royal Albert Hall – the Proms.

In the 21st century, London has reinvented itself on a monumental scale. Don’t miss the amazing views from the ultra modern British Airways London Eye, the world’s most visited modern art gallery, Tate Modern, or the staggering scale of the British Museum .

The Central London/Zone 2 / Shepherds Bush area

Shepherd's Bush is to the west of London about 15 minutes from Marble Arch. Hammersmith borders it to the south, Notting Hill to the east.

Europe's largest covered shopping and cinema complex is situated in Shepherds Bush. Called the Westfield London Shopping Centre this state-of-the-art complex offers over 300 retail outlets - many designer stores, dozens of restaurants, bars and cafes plus a multi-screen modern cinema showing all the latest movies. As a result of this new complex the Shepherds Bush Central Line tube station, which is just two minutes walk from the cottage has undergone a complete refurbishment programme and a brand new overground station has also opened to further enhance the great transport systems the area already offers.

Shepherd's Bush Common is an ancient piece of common land indeed the first recorded use of the name Shepherd's Bush was in 1635. It is believed to have got its name because shepherds used it as a resting place on the way to Smithfield market.

The area is also steeped in historical infamy. Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England, narrowly escaped assassination at Shepherd's Bush in January 1657 when Miles Syndercombe planned to spray his coach with fire from a primitive machine gun. The plot failed and Syndercombe was sentenced to be hung, drawn and quartered. This acted spurred on the development of certain aspects of Shepherd's Bush and by 1701, there were gallows installed at the eastern end of the Common. Today a giant barometer stands in its place.

Charles Dickens also became involved in the history of Shepherd's Bush when he unveiled a plan to build a rehabilitation centre for prostitutes at Shepherd's Bush in 1846. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the home, Urania Cottage, until 1862 when a scandal over the separation from his wife forced him to sever the link.

Another famous Shepherd's Bush resident, was the admired composer Gustav Holst who lived in a two bed flat above a shop in Shepherd's Bush until after his marriage in the late 1890s.

Until the middle of the 19th century, Shepherd's Bush consisted of mainly a rural mainly rural area, indeed some landowners continued to graze sheep in Shepherd's Bush until the end of the 19th century.

Shepherd's Bush also has strong Athletic ties. In 1908 the modern Olympic Games were held at a specially designed stadium next to the White City exhibition centre. World leader's and Elites such as John F. Kennedy have also attended the Oxford Vs Cambridge meet held at the White City stadium.

More recent claims to fame for Shepherd's Bush include local boys The Who using the area for the location for the hit film Quadrophenia. Julie Andrews has also sung at the world famous Shepherd's Bush Empire and Europe's largest street party, the Notting Hill carnival is held just next door to Shepherd's Bush every year in late August, just as the last of the good weather is upon us.

Guestbook for Shepherds Bush Cottage

"We arrived from 25 hours of flying to find the most stunning cottage set in a quiet lane less than a hundred metres from the underground..............after opening the pickett fence we looked at the beautiful flowers and proceeded to go into the cottage to find a large modern lounge room with fresh flowers on the dining table.
I stayed here for the three weeks and we were sad to leave . Staying in a place where the owner has thought of everything truly makes a difference. The clean white linen on the beds, the the new fully equipped kitchen, the front and back gardens and the comfort of having such a large place in central London all made my holiday here a memorable one!! Thank you, thank you". A. Hall. Australia

"We stayed in this wonderful cottage in Aug '09. It is situated in a row of Georgian houses - the location is perfect - the tube is literally 50 meters away. For shoppers there is Westfield shopping centre about 2 mins walk away. You wouldn't know it when you are inside the cottage - it is so peaceful. The whole road is picturesque. The owner is extremely friendly and accommodating. The cottage has a lovely bright kitchen/dining room connecting into the living room. Everything is clean and well maintained - towels and linens supplied, kitchen well stocked. There is a supermarket just across the road and loads of takeaways in the area. Holland Park is only 12 minutes walk away and you can walk to Kensington High Street which only takes approximately 20 minutes. We will definitely stay here again next time we're spending our holiday in London because we had such a great time. Thank you for your wonderful cottage". A. Kruger. Ireland

"It is always hoped that when you arrive at a property that it will be as lovely as the description you have read on the website. This property is certainly not a disappointment! We were met by the lovely owner who was happy to show us around and make sure that we had everything we needed. A real home from home and we were made to feel very welcome. The property is immaculate and you will find everything you need to make your stay very easy - plenty of towels, nice clean bedding, even washing powder!

The property is actually in a row of Georgian cottages and as you look down the street it is as if it is in a time warp because it is in such contrast to the shopping centre and tube station which are literally 5 minutes away. Don't be put off though by the closeness of these services. They only added to the enjoyment and convenience of our stay. You are not disturbed by the life that is Shepherds Bush once you approach the cottage. It's fantastic! Within a 5 minute walk of the cottage you can be on a tube going into the City, eating in a lovely restaurant, spending some money at the Westfield shopping centre, buying a ticket at the cinema, or stocking up at the local supermarket - the Waitrose there can be recommended!

To sum up, this is an ideal property to use as a base for a break to London. It is a charming cottage that has a fully modern bathroom and kitchen. It is ideally located for all your sightseeing needs yet lovely and quiet once you are in the property. We will be booking to go there again!" D. Rouse. UK
