Themodern development borders the south side ofShepherd's Bush Green and was designed in the 1960s.
The shopping centre first opened in 1967, as a joint venture between Parway Land Investments Ltd, theLondon Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, theGreater London Council and theCampden Charities, the latter owners of the Charcroft Estate. The architects were Sydney Kaye, Eric Firmin & Partners.[1] It is located on the south side of Shepherd's Bush Green, next to a number of large public housing blocks includingWoodford Court andRoseford Court.
Originally constructed with a rooftop car park and a connecting bridge to the station (decorated with an Inter-City railway train mural), West 12 was significantly redeveloped in the 1990s. The bridge was removed, and the centre now houses several chain stores, a 12-screen Vue cinema, gym, pub, restaurants, a Bush Doctors and aLidl supermarket (formerly aPresto, thenSafeway followed byMorrisons).[2]
The centre borders on, but is not a part of, theShepherd's Bush Conservation Area.
