White City is an area located in the Hammersmith and Fulham borough, in West London. The neighbourhood has been part of a regeneration project. Initially, White City was an industrial zone with lots of unused space. In recent years, developers saw its potential and built housing and retail space to bring life to this neighbourhood.

Benefiting from great connectivity into central with the White City tube station, this area is undergoing lots of changes and is becoming a real place to call home for young people, creatives and families. The council is working to improve the area even more with its White City Public Realm Strategy aiming to improve the connectivity and accessibility of the public spaces. Peabody New Homes has gathered the best of what the area has to offer.
