There are suggestions that Ealing has been inhabited for more than 7,000 years as there is evidence of a small settlement in the forested region of West London. In 1599, the earliest English census recorded 85 houses in Ealing.
Today, Ealing is often referred to as Queen of the Suburbs and is located, unsurprisingly, in the Borough of Ealing. Due to the long history of Ealing, there are some impressive buildings to enjoy including old style inns and edifices that have remained since the 18th century. During the 19th century, Ealing became the home of the Great Western Railway which allowed Ealing to grow to become part of London; this was finalised in 1901 when Ealing became a municipal borough.
Ealing is ideal for those wanting easy access to the West of London as well as being close to the M4 and M40 motorways and other transport links. |
