ShepherdsBushCalling

Nowhere else on the planet has a richer history of rock & roll, TV, film and pop culture than Shepherd's Bush, White City & Hammersmith.

I'd rather still call it "The Home of British Television"!

It was 57 years ago today, on 13 January 1969, when King Crimson came into being, beginning their first rehearsals in the basement of the café at 193 Fulham Palace Road. The latest Hugh's Archive Deep Dive marks the anniversary! https://t.co/oVcgbI0ave

@FXMC1957 Filmed for many years at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith.

[ShepherdsBushCalling @sbcalling]

@FXMC1957 A couple of years ago they put speed bumps along Colet Gardens where the opening credits were filmed. I remember thinking, 'Regan would not be best pleased'.

@yatesy_oi_oi @TheDylanRabbit A night in the backroom of a pub with Mr Otway is always a good night out. 👍

@tubemapper Westminster. For its 'James Bond villain' vibes.

[Saving London Pubs @PubsSaving]

New pub The Bush Tavern now open in Shepherds Bush (old BrewDog site). Beers on cask and keg from Bird House Brewery (based in Herne Hill). #newpubs #shepherdsbush #livemusic #burgers #qpr

[ShepherdsBushCalling @sbcalling]

@Capturing_Soho Quite a lot. Its been in the pipeline for many years, operated by AEG, so they know the business. Its says opening in 2026, but I assume towards the back end of. Looking forward to seeing what they have done. Personally, I hate the sponsorship deal - but maybe thats just me.

[ShepherdsBushCalling @sbcalling]

So, we finally know the name of the new music venue at Olympia, The British Airways ARC.
Nothings says local music venue like greenwash sponsorship from a global corporation. 🙄
Lets hope taxi drivers take customers to the right Ark in Hammersmith!
