Queensway

Queensway is set in an upmarket area of London. Kensington Gardens and Palace is just across the road from the station. A long  stretch of bustling retailers run along the main road and round the corner to Westbourne Grove. There are numerous cosmopolitan restaurants practically next to each other. Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Arabic, Mediterranean etc. You don't need to go in to Chinatown to taste authentic Chinese cuisine.  Almost next door to the station is the infamous ice skating ring that also offers bowling and karaoke. There is a Costcutter supermarket that specialises in oriental foods opposite the station.

Holland Park is an upmarket town with trees in abundance even on the high street. It is within walking distance from Notting Hill.

Shepherd's Bush

The sun is out. Summer's here finally. My journey continues. Next stop on the Central Line is Shepherd's Bush. Smack in the middle of the busy town and shopping centres, is Shepherd's Bush Common. Surprisingly, it is very relaxing to sit and chill even though cars are zooming past on both sides of a relatively small piece of green.

Wood Lane

Wood Lane Station is tucked between Shepherd's Bush and White City opposite BBC Television.

White City

White City is within walking distance of Shepherd's Bush and Wood Lane Stations. The bus station is opposite Westfields, one of the largest shopping centres in London. BBC Television occupies the entire road from Wood Lane to White City Stations.

East Acton

East Acton is just off the A40 with the usual high street retail shops.
