Jasmine Thai on the Goldhawk Road

Some of my favourite restaurants closed during Covid; we lost local gems such as The Albertine on Wood Lane, replaced in 2024 by (yet another) characterless chicken shop.  

One survivor worth celebrating is the delightful Jasmine Thai on Goldhawk Road, where I had lunch today.  Delicious Thai food, all at absurdly low prices. 

Petition to "Save Uxbridge Road"

Local Shepherd's Bush residents have raised a petition to clean up Uxbridge Road, one of our neighbourhood's main East-West arteries.

The purpose of the petition is to encourage our local council, London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, to focus on cleaning up the Uxbridge Road, dealing with some of the anti-social behaviour and generally tidying things up.

Local residents have long complained about social problems on Uxbridge Road.  Back in 2021 the Uxbridge Rd Police Station closed and was put up for sale, a decision which did little to deter crime and disorder.  

In 2022 Jonathan Pearl, chair of FOSGB (Friends of Shepherd's Bush Green) highlighted the growing problem of anti-social behaviour.
