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

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! dgmlive.com/news/on-fulham-p…

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
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!

"Bernard Cribbins was up there at the very, very top, I think his performance was quite extraordinarily good." @JohnCleese talking to @RadioTimes about the guest-star who played Mr Hutchinson in the Fawlty Towers episode The Hotel Inspectors, which first aired #OTD 50 years ago.

I love The Japanese Garden of Peace, but I have a one-man campaign to come up with a better name for that ground than 'Hammersmith Park'. Kiralfy Park is my personal choice, without whom the Gardens would not exist and the story of Shepherd's Bush would have been so different.
We marked the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in the Far East on Friday morning.
The early morning ceremony was held at Japanese Garden of Peace in Hammersmith Park #W12
