I found Shepherd's Bush Market more interesting than Westfield....

Strider

A good and varied route between two busy places along relatively quiet streets....

Strider

The Holland Park walk itself has plenty of street lights along the way so I assume it is very well lit on a dark evening. The final stretch is down a quiet road just sat back a little bit from Kensington High Street....

At the statue of Ukraine’s Saint Volodymyr you turn right up and walk a steep passage through the back of houses and gardens into Holland Park. Turn left just before Kensington High Street and into Philimore Walk parallel to the High Street but with very little traffic....

From Shepherds Bush to Old Oak Common, first pass Shepherds Bush market; then go by the back of the old BBC studios at Wood Lane, through a lovely Japanese influenced park. If you are going on towards Wembley the Slow Ways route to Wembley picks up seamlessly from this one on Old Oak Common Lane....

But for those who like watching the shops change, from shabby to chic (or the reverse, depending on the direction), this is a good one....

Martin McGovern

A quiet, pleasant, straightforward route through residential streets and across a little park with a cafe. Recommended....

Play spot the posh SUV outside the tiny mansions as you stroll happily onwards....

Interesting urban walk with quite a range of streets and neighbourhoods, high streets and parks. Transport never far away. The park sections do close at dusk but are easily navigable around....

Dan B - Slow Ways

The section that goes parallel along Kensington High Road isn't the *nicest*, but it's certainly a lot better than the congested Kensington High Road (from Sheken one). I also hadn't realised Holland Park was on a hill :-). Holland Park Avenue, albeit a bit busy with pedestrians, was a nicer walk than I had remembered....

When I walked it, I messed up a little and went along Portobello Road — which was a mistake on a Saturday afternoon. I was pleased to see that it was I that had messed up, and the route was spot-on....

A little better would be to walk past Olympia and use Sinclair Road/Richmond Road on the western side, and to walk on the north side of KHR. Going along Holland Walk instead would also improve this....

Derick Rethans

The pavements are wide and flat, so it's not entirely unpleasant, and there are some moments of joy to be had - especially after the route turns onto Kensington High Street. I'll see if I can upload an alternative that's slightly better......

It's a great walk, with lots of benefits - there's a long stretch in the lovely Hyde Park, there are some lovely residential neighbourhoods and vibrant High Streets, several quiet open spaces, and any shop you could ever need at the Shepherds Bush end....

Quite straight forward down to Wormwood Scrubs, which was a welcome piece of green down to the prison and to the hospital. A bit confused with the path and ended up going over steep steps down to a fairly straight road to Shepherds Bush. Lots of places for refreshment....

This route is a direct route but unfortunately following a very busy road. Very high levels of pollution on a hot day. I walked down the wrong road but was easily able to rejoin the route....

Lizbiz70

It is predominantly along a main road, but there aren't too many side roads to cross, and the local council have done a good job with drop kerbs. And there are a few older buildings that stand out among the more everyday ones....

Martin McGovern

A short, wiggly and enjoyable walk through some of London's most expensive streets, juxtaposed with some singularly less costly properties....

Martin McGovern

Excellent short route that stays away from busy roads and passes through the quieter back streets between Hammersmith and Shepherds Bush. Greenery at Brook Green, and you may catch some pop stars (and their fans) hanging out at the K West hotel too! Easy flat walking, no steps, safe road crossings, better than the bus and well worth 5 stars...

Jane Taylor

The route passes through Notting Hill and the Portobello Road area, very attractive residential areas, there are some interesting shops and cafes on the way. Well worth the time, a full 5 stars from me....

Jane Taylor

There were shops and interesting buildings, and the route is nice and short, delivering you to the Shepherds Bush area surprisingly quickly....

mtormey

The route is all on pavements and is fairly typical in that way of the London Slow Ways routes, but it was one of the more charming I’ve ever walked!...

mtormey

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....

custardtart

This is mostly a good route, but you can't walk through Ladbroke Square Gardens as this is private land. I'm going to upload a Shepad Three to fix this issue....

danravenellison

This is mostly a good route, but you can't walk through Ladbroke Square Gardens as this is private land....

danravenellison

This is a good route that's diverse and interesting to explore. There are a few places that you might well want to drift around and explore....

danravenellison

It's a good way to go between places, but not interesting to walk along....

The Slow Ways network is future proofed and this Slow Ways node will be ready in 2026....

Slow Ways Cristie

However, this does make it easy to navigate and mean that there are plenty of food and drink options along the way....

jamiekirk

This is a route that minimises contact with busy roads. Assuming there is no ramp nearby, the route will need to be modified for wheelchair users....
