Why is it called Shepherd's Bush?
Central
Where the name comes from
Named after the district. The name is thought to come from shepherds resting on the common land on their way to Smithfield Market; another theory is that it comes from a local person, as the area was recorded as "Sheppard's Bush Green" in 1635.
Worth knowing: It opened in 1900 as the original western terminus of the Central London Railway.
