It has been designed by Ian Ritchie Architects.

The station is between Latimer Road and Shepherd's Bush Market stations. The station is a short walk from White City station on the Central line providing an easy interchange between the lines.

A short distance to the south along the tracks from the site of the new station is the site of a former Wood Lane station (later called "White City"), that closed after a fire on one of the wooden platforms in 1959.

TfL announced that owing to the popularity of Oyster cards across the Underground network, there would be no ticket office in the new station.cite press release|url = http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/media/newscentre/5282.aspx|accessdate = 2008-04-20|title = Oyster success leads Tube ticket office changes| date= 12 June 2007|publisher = Transport for London]
