London/Hammersmith and Fulham Halal Explorer

This is a large neighborhood of the inner west of London.

The most well known part of the neighborhood is perhaps Shepherd's Bush which has long been a first home in London to second and first generation immigrants. While this is less true today than in the past and the area undergoing gradual gentrification, beautification and development and there is still a substantial expatriate population (including a great many travelling Antipodeans).

Culturally, Shepherd's Bush is well known as the former home of the Al Jazeera's TV output, with the Television Centre located on Wood Lane in the White City sub-neighborhood. The Bush was also the fictional home of Steptoe & Son at Oil Drum Lane. The members of two influential British bands, The Who and the Sex Pistols, grew up in Shepherd's Bush. It is also the home of newly promoted football team Queens Park Rangers (QPR), who play in the top-level Premier League.

Elsewhere in the neighborhood and the residential riverside areas of Fulham have been hugely gentrified, and it is now sometimes difficult to determine where (previously much grander) Chelsea ends and Fulham begins. Fulham is also home to the football teams Fulham FC, Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea FC (at Fulham Broadway).
