Bond St, Ealing, Nord Walpole Park
Ealing is one of the residential areas of west London. Prices are more affordable there as it is a bit further away, especially for families who need spacious homes.
Ealing is a very large area and consist of several small villages: Pitshanger Lane to the north; Ealing Broadway in the middle, the nerve centre with many shops; South Ealing in the South with the chic Lammas Park and finally to the East, Ealing Common and its large victorian houses.
With the new Crossrail project which will see Ealing linked to Canary Wharf in 26 minutes, the area is becoming extremely well connected in terms of transport. Road access is easy to west and north London thanks to the M4 and M40.

- the area where your children will have English friends,
- the area where you rent then buy with French Touch because it remains a good surface/price ratio.
