Report

I walked this route from Hammersmith to Shepherds Bush.

The route was, as other reviewers have noted, flat, direct, and on consistent smooth pavements. There were shops and interesting buildings, and the route is nice and short, delivering you to the Shepherds Bush area surprisingly quickly.

The downside is that the main road is quite noisy and less pleasant to walk along. I might look to try another route that sticks to quieter and less polluted streets!.

This route takes you north from Hammersmith Broadway, up Shepherd's Bush Road passing alongside Brook Green, before cutting diagonally across Shepherd's Bush Green and then joining Uxbridge Road to end Shepherd's Bush Underground/Overground stations.

The route is almost completely flat and is step free, with dropped kerbs at every road junction crossed. The majority is on the pavement of the fairly busy Shepherd's Bush Road. The path across Shepherd's Bush Green is smooth bonded gravel.

TfL bus route 295 follows pretty much the same route albeit on road and goes round Shepherd's Bush Green rather than across it. This walking route connects with five London Underground lines (Piccadilly, District, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Central), the Overground at Shepherd's Bush and numerous bus routes.
