A short history of W12

Evidence of human habitation in Shepherd's Bush reaches back to the Iron Age and in 704 Waldhere, Bishop of London, purchased the land as part of the "Fulanham" estate. The name may come from shepherds resting on common land on the way to Smithfield Market or from a local person, as the green was recorded in 1635 as "Sheppard's Bush Green". A map of 1841 shows largely open farmland and housing spread in earnest in the late 19th century. The Church of the Holy Ghost and St Stephen opened in 1904. White City hosted exhibitions from 1908 to 1914 including the 1908 Olympics and took its name from their white pavilions. Flats were built there in the 1930s. BBC Television Centre was built in 1960. Of 17 listed buildings three are Grade II*: Greenside School and the chapel and gatehouse at HMP Wormwood Scrubs.
