New independent boozers opening up anywhere in London is something that always warms the soul. Shepherd’s Bush is blessed with a sturdy selection of watering holes, but a new member is always a welcome addition to the flock (not to confuse it with the pub on the same road that’s actually called The Shepherd And Flock).
The Bush Tavern arrives on Goldhawk Road today (November 20), replacing a former Brewdog site and run by the team behind the likes of fellow local haunt, The Hawk’s Nestas well as Peckham Arches and Bird House Brewery.
