St Mary's in Ealing
Living in St Mary's
This part of Ealing sits squarely in London's mid-range commuter belt — close enough to central London to reach in under 15 minutes by public transport, yet residential enough that more than half of working residents don't commute at all. That unusually high work-from-home share, around 52%, gives the streets a calmer, more neighbourhood feel than you'd expect this close to a major hub.
Rents here are firmly in mid-London territory. A two-bedroom flat runs around £1,976 a month — nearly double the UK national average, but meaningfully below what you'd pay in inner west London. One-beds start around £1,583; three-beds climb to around £2,336. If you're buying rather than renting, the median sale price sits at just over £720,000, which puts saving a deposit — at roughly 10 years on a typical local salary — firmly in the long-game category.
The neighbourhood skews established and relatively settled. Nearly half of homes are owner-occupied, and around 57% of residents hold a degree-level qualification, well above the London norm. The age spread is fairly even across the 18–65 range, with no strong concentration in any single bracket. Around 40% of residents were born outside the UK, reflecting the area's moderate ethnic diversity.
Practically speaking, greenspace is close — the typical resident is within 170 metres of a park or green area, and nearly nine in ten have walkable green access. Broadband is full gigabit across the neighbourhood. The underground station within 600 metres makes the area genuinely accessible without a car, though around 18% of residents still drive to work.

As always, crime concentrates around busy transit and retail areas rather than quieter residential streets.
- What's the commute from Ealing 031 to central London?

The nearest underground station is about 586 metres away, a seven-minute walk, and the nearest mainline rail station is around 1,168 metres. That said, over half of residents work from home, so many don't make the journey at all.

Around 40% of residents were born outside the UK. Tenure is split roughly half owner-occupied, a third private rented, and 17% social rented — more mixed than the price point might suggest.
