The Shepherds Bush Raiders is an Australian rules football team based in London, England. The club was formed as part of the West London Wildcats in 2000, and compete in the Conference division of the AFL London.
The Shepherds Bush Raiders were formed in 2000, and for the first year competed in the Premiership division of the then BARFL. While the Raiders did not qualify for finals, the season was a success for the new club.
In 2001, the Conference division was created, effectively a second division for the BARFL, and it was here that the Raiders thrived. The Raiders proceeded to win every premiership from 2001 to 2008, before falling agonisingly short in 2009.
In 2010 the Raiders returned to form, completing the season undefeated as Premiers and Champions. Since 2010, the club has added another 5 premierships to its history including another undefeated Premiers and Champions season in 2014.
