Parking W12
Most of the roads around W12 are controlled parking, and either parking suspensions or dispensations are required. For larger Removals in W12 a parking suspension is a necessity. The suspension has to be booked up to 14 working days in advance of the required date. These are booked with your local council online. For smaller W12 removals, using vans, we can load and unload for short periods on single yellow lines. Otherwise a dispensation would need to be booked, if we are packing and W12 flat moving.
A Little Bit About W12
The W postcode area is a group of postcode districts covering part of central and part of west London. The postal district of W12 covers Shepherd’s Bush, White City, Wormwood Scrubs and parts of East Acton. The local authority covering these areas is Hammersmith and Fulham.
“Sheppards Bush Green” was first recorded in 1635 but the origins of the name Shepherds Bush are obscure. The name may have originated from the use of the common land here as a resting point for shepherds on their way to Smithfield Market in the City of London. There appears to have been an ancient custom of pruning a hawthorne bush to provide a shelter for shepherds protecting them from the elements as they watched their flocks. Alternatively the neighbourhood may simply be named after a local landowner.
The 1908 Summer Olympics held in Britain meant the Great Stadium (later known as The White City Stadium) was constructed for the Olympics. Opened by King Edward VII on April 27, 1908, this immense technological marvel was the first Olympic Stadium built in the United Kingdom. Great Britain led the participating nations with 146 medals, including 56 Gold.
After the Olympics, the stadium continued to be used for athletics until 1914, and was later turned into a greyhound racing track, although it was also used for short periods by Queens Park Rangers football club. It hosted one match during the 1966 World Cup. The stadium continued to serve as a sporting venue until 1985 when it was demolished and replaced by the BBC White City Centre.
