Living in Perivale
Ealing 007 has the feel of settled outer London — owner-occupied houses, green streets, and a population that skews towards families and mid-career professionals rather than transient young renters. Just over half of households own their home, which is unusually high for a London neighbourhood, and private renters make up a further 40%. The result is a mix that feels more like a suburb than a zone-2 postcode — quieter, more residential, with a noticeably different pace to the inner city.
Rents here sit meaningfully below central London levels. A two-bed runs around £1,976 a month — roughly what you'd expect for outer west London — and a one-bed comes in at about £1,583. That's well under half what you'd pay in Westminster or Kensington, and it reflects the trade-off: more space and a calmer environment, further from the core. Prices paid for sales are a different matter — a median of around £517,000 means buying remains a stretch, with around 7.2 years of saving needed for a deposit at typical local earnings.
The population is genuinely mixed. Under-18s account for just over 21% of residents — higher than the London average — pointing to a significant family contingent. The 35–49 bracket makes up around a quarter of the population, which ties in with the owner-occupied tenure profile. Ethnically, it's one of the more diverse parts of Ealing: the diversity index sits at 69.3, and fewer than half of residents were born in the UK. That mix is reflected in the local high streets and food offer.
For commuting, the nearest underground station is roughly 530 metres away — about a six- or seven-minute walk — and the journey time into the nearest major employment hub comes in at around 11 minutes by public transport, which is quick for outer London. A third of residents still use the car regularly, and 30% are working from home, so the commute picture is more varied than a single number suggests. See the streets and sub-areas below for more detail on where within Ealing 007 you'll find the quieter residential pockets.

The trade-off is that around 30% of nearby schools are rated Good or Outstanding, which is well below the national average, and the crime rate runs higher than the UK norm.

- Is Ealing 007 safe?
- The recorded crime rate sits at around 136 incidents per 1,000 residents per year — above the UK national rate of roughly 80, but typical of outer London. The risk isn't evenly spread across the neighbourhood, and specific streets close to commercial areas tend to account for a disproportionate share. As with most of London, it pays to look at street-level data before committing.

The nearest mainline rail station is around 900 metres away — an 11-minute walk. Around 30% of residents now work from home, so commuting patterns here are more varied than the headline figure suggests.
- Who lives in Ealing 007?
- Mostly owner-occupiers and long-term renters in their 30s and 40s with families. Just over half of households own their home — unusually high for London — and the 35–49 bracket is the largest adult age group.

- What schools are near Ealing 007?
- There are 70 schools within 2km, but only around 30.6% of those are rated Good or Outstanding — well below the national figure of roughly 89%.

- How does the cost of living in Ealing 007 compare to central London?
- Rents are noticeably lower than inner London — a two-bed at around £1,976 a month is a significant saving on Westminster or Kensington prices.
