White City
White City is a place in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in London, England. Home to the BBC Television Centre and BBC White City, is was the site of the Franco-British Exhibition and the Olympic Games in 1908 and the Japan-British Exhibition in 1910. It was known at that time as the White City due to the building materials used, and hence gave its name to this part of Shepherd's Bush. Subsequently the area also contained a dog racing track and athletics ground.
New development
Chelsfield plc are building a new shopping centre, bounded by A3220 (was M41 or West Cross Route), the Westway (also know as the A40 or A40M) and Wood Lane. This centre will be branded "whitecity" (a registered trade mark). As a result, a new station will be built on Wood Lane between Shepherd's Bush tube station and Latimer Road stations on the Hammersmith and City Line of The Tube. There will also be a station between Olympia,_England and Willesden Junction on the line to Rugby.
