Previously a station existed almost on the same site as the present Shepherd's Bush station.Uxbridge Road station was opened in 1869 byLondon & North Western Railway and theGreat Western Railway on theMiddle Circle route. In 1905 the line became branch of theMetropolitan Railway, and laterLondon Underground'sMetropolitan line. Uxbridge Road was closed in 1940 after the line was bombed several times duringthe Blitz.

In 2005, construction began on a major redevelopment project in theWhite City area, including the large-scaleWestfield Shopping Centre, developed by theWestfield Group.^[6] Shepherd's Bush station was designed and funded by theWestfield Group as part of aSection 106 redevelopment contribution, and construction wasproject-managed byCapita Symonds; this project also included the provision of an integrated bus interchange and the reconstruction of the London Underground Central line station.

Building work on the West London line station began in early 2006 and it was due to open in summer 2007.^[7] Although largely completed on time, the station was unable to open due to the northbound platform being 460 millimetres (18 in) too narrow to comply with railway safety regulations, based on the anticipated number of passengers using the station.^[8] Following remedial reconstruction work on the platform, the station opened on 29 September 2008.^[9]

The three-letter station codeSPB andlocation code9587 appear on ticketing systems, and train times for the station began appearing on timetables from May 2007.^[10]

With a 2007 opening date in mind, the station was to have been served bySilverlink trains, and it was fitted out with Silverlink-branded signage. By the time the station actually opened to passenger service, the rail franchise had passed to London Overground, and the station signage was rebranded.

In April 2015 the station platforms were extended to accommodate longer, 8-car Southern trains, and a footbridge and a new entrance were constructed at the northern end of the station to ease passenger flows. The £1.35m station upgrade work was supported with £3.9 million from the Westfield Shopping Centre and the platform lengthening was part of a nine-month, £25 million project funded by Network Rail to extend platforms along the West London line.^[11][12]

Services on theMildmay line of theLondon Overground operate usingClass 378EMUs; National Rail services along theWest London line operated bySouthern are run using relatedClass 377 EMUs.
