(1194)

We are THE destination pub of Shepherds Bush's (and West London's) nightlife with DJs every weekend and multiple special events each month. We're also located in the middle of Shepherds Bush geographically, within a few minutes walk of White City and Shepherd's Bush stations on the Central Line, Shepherds Bush Market and Wood Lane station on the Hammersmith and City and Circle Lines. We're Westfield adjacent, and right by the iconic Shepherd's Bush Empire, we're a pub in the heart of the action.
