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 in Shepherds Bush opened on the 30th October. 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
"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
