Ealing is a district located in West London and one of the major towns in the London Borough of Ealing. Its name is from an Anglo-Saxon settler, Gilingas or people of Gilla. It was also known in several different terms like Zelling, Eling, and Yealing, until in the 19th century when it had its standard spelling. St. Mary’s was its parish church from the early 12th century. It was divided into two manors, Gunnersbury and Pitshanger. In the 18th century, the town’s first map was built with mostly open fields and countryside, knowing that farming has been the main occupation for many centuries. In the 1830s, the Great Western Railway was constructed, which gave way to the opening of the Ealing railway station in 1838. Ealing permanently became a town with plenty of roads, drainage, schools, and buildings erected during the Victorian period. One of the most significant persons in Ealing is the Borough Surveyor Charles Jones, who designed the present and old town hall. 

Ealing is conceived as the ‘Queen of the Suburbs’ and is one of the most prominent locations among house hunters striving for village-style living in West London. It has some of the most glorious open spaces, bustling amenities, independent restaurants, and retail outlets. Many tourists always roam around and take pictures of the majestic Ealing Town Hall. One thing that the locals love about the town is you can possibly have anything you need at 2 am, from meat markets up to secret bars. Every Sunday, Ealing Farmers’ Market has several sustainable food stalls that offer farm cheese, handmade pasta, fresh fish, etc. In Antiques Market and The Avenue Vintage, you’ll indeed find some rare and ornate pieces with 25 stores providing different collectables.
