The local area guide to living in Ealing

Ealing, located around 10 miles west of Central London, is a varied borough, with different areas catering to different tastes. The Haymills estate, situated to the west, is filled with striking mock Tudor houses, while in the centre, Haven Green hosts an array of charming cottages. Meanwhile, in the east, Montpelier displays streets full of grand detached villas.

One of the borough’s most famous talking points is its film studio – the oldest in the world – but there is a rich variety of other cultural and leisure activities around the area. Cafes, bistros and green spaces abound and cater to an active local community. Rather curiously, the Ealing area doesn’t in fact have any cinemas at the moment, although one is scheduled for completion in 2018.

Over the decades, Ealing has continually asserted itself as a cultural capital of both London and England at large. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones both met Brian Jones at the Ealing Jazz Club, before later meeting their drummer, Charlie Watts in Greenford at the railway pub. Alongside its musical history, it hosts a variety of festivals and events year round, has several renowned sports teams, and remains central to the UK film industry.

Information about the local residents

Ealing borough has a population of approximately 340,000. Much of the area is quite ethnically diverse, particularly Greenford, Northolt and Acton. The Japanese school in West Acton means there’s a large Japanese community. Areas like Ealing Broadway, Hanger Lane and Northfields, however, are made up of mostly White British residents.

Nearby schools

Ealing borough is home to a wide range of both state and independent schools – and both of these categories have received consistently positive Ofsted reports. Roman Catholic private day school, St Benedict’s, and Elthorne Park state school are among the more popular options in the area.

There are several dozen primary schools to choose from around Ealing, as well as a number of speciality schools and numerous secondary schools. Popular secondary schools in the Ealing area include Twyford Church of England High School, as well as Gunnersbury Catholic School. Both institutions boast ‘Outstanding’ ratings from Ofsted. The area also hosts a college, the Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College.

Getting around

Ealing Broadway sits at the end of the District and Piccadilly London Underground lines – which means you’ll usually get a seat on your commute. It takes approximately 30 minutes to reach the city centre on the tube, and there’s a range of regular overland services and bus routes to choose from too. You can also gain access to the Central Line from Ealing Broadway and West Ealing stations. The borough is also eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Crossrail, which is due for completion in 2018 and will then be renamed ‘The Elizabeth Line’, in honour of Queen Elizabeth II. There is also a wide variety of bus services in operation, with 18 available across the Ealing Broadway area, including night buses.

Local shops

Ealing is a lively area, and the summer season is packed with festivals and local events, featuring everything from jazz music to comedy shows and craft beers.

During the day, shopping is a favoured pastime in the area, with Broadway Shopping Centre serving as a major hub for high street chains. Alternative choices include Ealing Green and Pitshanger Lane – which features a fishmonger, a bakers, and a greengrocer, as well as a selection of independent bookshops and antique stores.

There’s also a range of popular nightlife options, with pubs and clubs all across the borough. Some sources even claim that Ealing is the source of rock music, with an article from the Huffington Post once positing that British rock music was intrinsically influenced by the music from the Ealing Club.
