About

White City sits in the north of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, named after the white stucco pavilions built for the 1908 Franco-British Exhibition and the adjacent White City Stadium, which hosted the 1908 Olympic events. The area includes the White City Estate and the circular plan of the former BBC Television Centre on Wood Lane, now redeveloped with studios, offices and housing. The name and the stadium’s footprint still shape street patterns and plot boundaries around North Acton Road and Wood Lane.

Today White City combines residential streets, student accommodation and a cluster of research and media facilities. Imperial College’s White City Campus and several technology and creative firms sit alongside a major retail and leisure complex at Ariel Way. The area is served by White City station on the Central line and Wood Lane station on the Hammersmith & City and Circle lines, which link local development to central London and other parts of west London.
