Shepherds Bush

Shepherds Bush is west London at west London prices, with excellent transport. W12, on the Central line with the Overground alongside.

Where it is

Holland Park is one stop east and Hammersmith a short way south. Westfield sits on the northern edge of the area.

What is here

A residential incall roster in flats and converted houses, deeper than the neighbouring postcodes because the area is larger and rents are lower.

What it costs

Well below zone one, and the Central line puts you in the West End in fifteen minutes. For value against journey time, this is one of the stronger arguments in west London.

Worth knowing before you ring

Busy and well lit around the green and Westfield, quieter in the residential streets behind. Either works; the second is more discreet.

What the bookings look like

Incall mostly, arranged with a little notice. There is hotel stock around Westfield for outcall, but the residential roster is the larger part of the area.

Getting there

The Central line reaches Oxford Circus in about fifteen minutes, which is the whole argument for booking here rather than paying zone one rates.

Who works here

A deeper roster than the neighbouring postcodes, because the area is larger and the rents lower. Mixed nationalities throughout.

Booking here

Short notice is more workable here than in most residential areas, simply because there are more listings within walking distance of the green than the neighbouring postcodes manage.
