London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham: Shepherd's Bush: Uxbridge Rd/Askew Rd
Tucked into the dense urban fabric of west London, the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham is a place whose character is shaped by radial transport routes and the River Thames. At the Uxbridge Road–Askew Road junction, everyday London unfolds along a long-established route running west from Shepherd’s Bush towards Uxbridge. Red-brick terraces, corner businesses and bus stops give this part of the borough a residential-commercial rhythm, rather than the monumental scale of central London. Hammersmith and Fulham was formed in 1965 through the merger of the former metropolitan boroughs of Hammersmith and Fulham. Further south, the Thames links Hammersmith’s riverside with London’s wider waterfront history, while BBC Television Centre in White City reflects the area’s broadcasting legacy.
