In 1888, Shepherds Bush, Notting Hill, and the surrounding areas were primarily residential and agricultural areas with a mix of working-class and upper-class residents. The area was characterized by large estates and farms, with many of the houses belonging to wealthy merchants and businessmen.

One of the most notable areas in the region was Holland Park, a large park and public garden that was opened to the public in 1952. The park was previously owned by the wealthy Holland family and was known for its beautiful gardens and grand mansion.

Other areas of interest included Ladbroke Grove, a residential street lined with grand Victorian townhouses, and Addison Road, which was home to several large mansions and the Addison Road Station.

Several farms, such as Wormholt Farm, Old Oak Farm, Woodlane Farm, and Gynam Farm, dotted the landscape and provided fresh produce for the growing city of London.
