Living in Ealing Broadway West
This part of Ealing has a settled, professional feel. More than half the population work from home — 53% by the last count — which shapes the neighbourhood's rhythm: quieter on weekday mornings than you'd expect this close to central London, with the kind of daytime footfall that keeps local cafés and parks busy outside rush hour. Greenspace is close, with the nearest park just 240 metres away on average, and nearly two thirds of residents have a walkable green space nearby.
On rent, you're paying west London prices. A one-bedroom runs around £1,580 a month, a two-bedroom around £1,980, and a three-bedroom around £2,340. That's significantly above the UK median for equivalent sizes but broadly in line with outer west London. Council tax (Band D) adds around £2,140 a year on top. If you're buying rather than renting, the median sale price is around £703,000 — putting a deposit roughly a decade away on a typical local income.
The people who live here are predominantly degree-educated — around 64% hold a degree, well above the national average — and split fairly evenly between owners and private renters (43% own, 46% rent privately). The under-18 population sits at 17%, and around 18% of households are couples with children, so there's a meaningful family presence alongside the larger share of young professionals in the 18–34 bracket (28%).
For commuters who do travel, the nearest mainline rail station is roughly 580 metres away — about a seven-minute walk — and public transport gets you into central London in under 10 minutes. That kind of connectivity, combined with the high WFH rate, makes this a neighbourhood where flexibility is built in. For a breakdown of streets and sub-areas, see the sub-areas list below.

- Is Ealing 019 a nice place to live?
- It's a well-connected, predominantly professional neighbourhood with easy access to central London and good greenspace nearby. The WFH rate is unusually high — over half of residents work from home — giving it a calmer daytime feel than many comparable outer London areas. The trade-off is cost: rents are firmly in the west London bracket and buying requires a very long saving horizon.
- What is the rent in Ealing 019?
- A one-bedroom flat runs around £1,580 a month, a two-bedroom around £1,980, and a three-bedroom around £2,340. These are estimates based on scaling council-level ONS data using local sale prices. Rents rose around 0.9% year-on-year — slow by London standards.
- Is Ealing 019 safe?
- The crime rate is around 86 incidents per 1,000 residents a year — slightly above the UK national rate of roughly 80 per 1,000.

The area sits around the middle of the national deprivation range.
