Ealing, or ‘The Queen of the Suburbs’ as it’s fondly known, is a happy balance between city and countryside living. Train and tube stations offer fantastic connections to the heart of the capital, as well as this it has retained a rural, characterful look and feel. The borough has numerous parks (Gunnersbury, Brent Lodge Park and Walpole are three of the best), a 40-something acre common, and quiet, leafy avenues. Read on to discover the developments that are rated as the best places to live in Ealing and to see reviews from residents who own or rent in Ealing.
Great amenities
Not many offers around, there’s a retail park which offers a range of supermarkets and shops as well as boots, superdrug and coffee shops and a 24h mcdonald’s but that’s it. the proximity to the tube is great (6/7 min walk) but the central line for Greenford has a lot of issues specially the frequency between trains sometimes it can be up to 12 or 15 which is not acceptable for one of the most central lines in London. There’s a canal which offers a scenic walk alongside it and a nearby park Horsenden Hill which is huge but not very attractive. There are local business such as barbershops and groceries/supermarket near the station but the main street towards Sudbury Hill is quite limited in offer. In General is a pleasant place to live despite the proximity to the industrial estate. Traffic is intense but no busier then other places in London.
Please review your development:
The building has great amenities such as gym in the top floor, cinema, parcel room, 12h concierge and overnight security, and common area such as work spaces and leisure rooms for relaxing and dinning/party. The maintenance could be more effective, and swifter.
