Hanwell Broadway
Ealing, London
PocketsHanwell (The Hobbayne · Boston Road · Humes Avenue · Brent River Park)West Ealing (Broadway · Uxbridge Road · Elthorne Avenue)Elthorne Park
Hanwell Broadway sits on the western edge of Ealing, where the Uxbridge Road crosses the River Brent valley and drops down toward Southall. The character is distinctly villagey around St Mellitus and the Broadway, with the Fox pub and the Grand Union canal path adding to it. Heritage runs to five listed buildings including the Grade II* Church of St Thomas the Apostle and Grade II Church of St Mellitus and Grosvenor pub; twenty-one per cent of the ward sits inside a conservation area. Thirty-five Ofsted-outstanding schools are within reach — a strong number — and green space is generous at nearly thirty-five hectares, anchored by the Elthorne Waterside and Brent valley. Food amenity is solid with over a hundred venues. The downsides are safety and connectivity. Crime sits below the London middle, reflecting the Broadway's evening and through-traffic patterns, and public transport is moderate at best, with Hanwell station on the Elizabeth line the main asset but patchy bus coverage around it.
