Shepherd's Bush (Central): Location and Local Orientation
Shepherd's Bush (Central) Underground station is recorded by TfL at Shepherd's Bush Central, Uxbridge Road, London, W12 8ND. Use Uxbridge Road and postcode W12 8ND to anchor your taxi or cab enquiry rather than a broad neighbourhood name.

The closest other Underground station positions in this directory are Shepherd's Bush Market (0.54 km), Goldhawk Road (0.61 km), and Wood Lane (0.71 km). Those figures are straight-line distances calculated from TfL coordinates, not walking routes, station interchanges or journey-time estimates.
The published station postcode falls in the Hammersmith and Fulham local-authority area (Shepherd's Bush Green ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
