Shepherd's Bush Market stationShepherd’s Bush Market station

Shepherd’s Bush station on the Hammersmith & City line will shortly be renamed Shepherd’s Bush Market, thus finally ending the long-running fallacy that it is connected to its Central Line namesake. TfL are ready to fire the starter’s gun on the name change: they’ve prepared new roundels at the station, yet curiously, they remain partly covered up with blue tape, allowing mischievous Londoners to choose what the station’s new suffix should be. Got an idea? Leave a comment, and we’ll present them to Tube bosses for consideration. If theyr’e not convinced, it might be a case of sneaking in after dark with a pot of Tippex.

    Shepherd’s Bush Empire – after the greatest gig venue in London, and surely more fun than the market?
