I love West London! Shepherd's Bush is just a bit further west than Notting Hill and Holland Park, so natives would argue it's just that bit cooler and more cosmopolitan...
Fun fact: the area is called Shepherd's Bush because it was (in the 19th and early 20th century) a pasture for shepherds on their way to sell their sheep at the still famous Smithfield market in East London.
The house itself has just been refurbished - new kitchen, underfloor heating, well-equipped and quiet, in a family neighbourhood, but only a few minutes from the bustle of Uxbridge Road which is a bit like NYC's 42nd Street!
The house is also less than 5 minutes to the tube which takes you into the centre of town in 10 minutes. It's also less than 5 minutes to to Westfield (Europe's largest shopping mall, for the initiated - for those who are less shopping-oriented, it's still fantastically convenient for restaurants, groceries (the wonderful Waitrose), the Apple Store, John Lewis...) the BBC, grocery stores, every kind of restaurant you could imagine, parks...
If you book I have a welcome pack with pdfs that list all the best local restaurants, where to swim, do yoga, take your kids to run around...
