Streets of London in 2012 - The Uxbridge Road

From Hillingdon to Shepherds Bush this is a seriously cool cultural outing. The relative green leafy suburbnites of Uxbridge to the beat box multi-cultural urbanites of Shepherds Bush. At nearly 11 miles it can be walked in a day or cycled easily in a couple of hours. The history and culture is mixed, Asian, Black, White, Eastern European and many more. All reflected in food, entertainment and faith.

The Uxbridge Road is the main artery going through West London. It is serviced by many buses and has various rail and tube stations en-route. There are cycle lanes along most of the Uxbridge Road and plenty of taxis. But the best way to experience this part of the streets of London is to walk it, and enjoy the culture and food along the way.

The area is safe and locals all friendly. As long as you don't put temptation out in front of you (iPads cameras etc.) you should enjoy a great experience in West London. The route is more suburban around Hillingdon and becomes more varied toward Southall and from there on in to London.
