Ealing is one of the largest and greenest boroughs in London, and often called ‘the queen of the suburbs’ because of its parks and leafy streets. It is 11.5 miles from central London, just 5.4 miles from Heathrow Airport, and extremely well connected both by road and rail. If you are considering living in Ealing, this article is for you!

A borough with cultural richness and luxuriant foliage

Ealing is best known for Ealing Studios, the world’s oldest film studios, which has produced a wealth of Hollywood films, including The Imitation Game, Murder on the Orient Express, and The Theory of Everything. Ealing’s astonishing greenery and traditional architecture were ingeniously captured in many of the scenes in the movies. It’s not unusual to bump into a film star in Ealing.

Ealing Studios are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Ealing’s cultural richness. The Ealing Jazz Club, The Questors Theatre, and various manors exhibit Ealing’s elegant traditional British style. Walpole Park welcomes everyone to stop by and enjoy its featured fishpond with fountains, parkland and serpentine lake. Every summer, Ealing Summer Festivals host annual events in Walpole Park, such as the Ealing Beer Festival, the Ealing Comedy Festival and the Ealing Jazz Festival, catering for all tastes.

In and around Ealing are many leading educational institutes, including world-renowned Brunel University, Royal Holloway University, and the University of West London. Southall, a town in the Borough of Ealing, offers excellent education opportunities, including OFSTED rated ‘outstanding’ and ‘good’ primary and secondary schools.

After sending your children to school, you can enjoy an afternoon tea or stroll in tree-lined Brent Lodge Park or Walpole Park, chat freely with friends beside a water garden or rose garden.
