Ealing is currently experiencing a vast amount of regeneration. There is excitement in the air with the anticipation of an eight screen picturehouse cinema and cultural quarter. This, along with high end retailers jostling for prime position in Dickens Yard, is set to make Ealing a truly desirable location. The area boasts a vast amount of green open space, impressive architecture, excellent transport links and leading London schools. Therefore it is easy to see why so many families and young professionals put Ealing at the top of their property search list. Ealing has a range of excellent state and independent schools. Here are a few of the best: Montpelier Primary School is a well established and highly successful primary school located in central Ealing. It has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Christ the Saviour C of E Primary School is London’s largest Church of England Primary School, located close to Ealing Broadway station. It ensures the very highest levels of academic achievement and has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Durston House School is an independent preparatory school for boys aged 4-13. It boasts academic excellence and enviable sports facilities. It is located on Castlebar Road, a short walk from Ealing Broadway station. Harvington Prep School is an academic school that is proud of its moral and ethical values. It takes boys and girls in the Nursery and girls from the age of 4-11.

Annual council tax charges generally start at around £960 for Band A and goes up to just above £2800 for Band H. There is an abundance of green open space in Ealing, which is one of its major draws for buyers from more central parts of London. Walpole Park is located in the heart of Ealing’s Heritage Quarter, behind Pitzhanger Manor House. It has been restored to its former Regency glory of its creator, Sir John Soane, through a Heritage Lottery Funded Project. It boasts a new children’s playground and a newly restored fountain and Rustic Bridge on the Serpentine Lake as well as a café. Every year during July, Walpole Park hosts the hugely popular Ealing Jazz, Blues, Comedy and Beer Festivals. To the east of Ealing Broadway lies Ealing Common, a leafy green space, which provides a popular and peaceful spot for picnics and walks. Surrounded by some of Ealing’s most impressive properties, it is particularly beautiful in the spring when the many horse chestnut trees are in bloom. To the north, Pitshanger Park is hugely impressive and is popular with families, dog walkers and tennis players. As well as many well known, high street stores, Ealing Broadway is home to several independent shops, new restaurants and cafés. Dive into Electric Coffee Company on Haven Green for some of the best coffee in town or head to Charlottes W5, an award winning restaurant in Dickens Yard serving the most delicious brunch and much more. To the North is Pitshanger Village, a hidden gem and deserved winner of The Best High Street in London. With ‘the Lane’ offering an array of independent shops such as Oscars and Cinnamon coffee shops, Hook & Cleaver free-range and organic butchers, Pitshanger Village Bakery, Harrison’s Deli and the hugely inviting Village Inn, it is easy to understand why Pitshanger is so popular with its Ealing residents.

Lying to the west of Chiswick, Ealing is proud to offer a laid back, village feel to its residents whilst also providing a quick commute to the city. A commute that is soon to be the envy of many with the arrival of Crossrail. In the 1850s, Ealing was named the ‘Queen of the Suburbs’; it’s easy to understand why it retains that title today.
