Northfield
Ealing, London
PocketsSouth Ealing (Radbourne River · Little Ealing Lane · Blondin Park · Windmill Road)Elthorne Park (West Ealing Sports Ground · north · east)Northfields
Northfield sits in the south of Ealing between Ealing Broadway and Brentford, a residential ward running along Northfield Avenue and down towards the Brent River Park. The character is Edwardian terraces and early-twentieth-century suburbia. Heritage is respectable: ten listed buildings including the Grade II* 266 and 268 Northfield Avenue and the Grade II South Lodge and Cemetery Lodge. Blondin Park at 8.6 hectares anchors the ward and total green space reaches 11.5. Public-transport access is good via Northfields Piccadilly line and South Ealing, and twenty Outstanding-rated schools sit within reach. Safety scores well. The drawbacks are that conservation-area coverage is zero within the ward itself, air quality is only moderate, cultural venues are modest, and the retail offer is limited to small parades rather than a true town centre.

Northfield, quick answers
- Is Northfield safe?
- Northfield scores 72 for safety, based on street-level recorded crime (police.uk) — one of London's safer wards on this measure. The score weighs personal safety, property crime and anti-social behaviour separately rather than ranking on one raw total, so the mix of crime matters as well as the volume.
- Is Northfield a good place to live?
- Northfield scores 43 overall when all nine data layers are weighted equally. The London comparison beside the score shows how that number ranks against every ward. Its strongest suits are nature access (74) and safety (72); its weakest is area development (0). Whether it suits you depends on what you weight — the same data re-ranked around your own priorities can read very differently.
- How well connected is Northfield?
- Good public-transport access: Transport for London rates the typical spot in Northfield 4 on its 0–8 public-transport access scale, which puts the ward at 49 for connectivity relative to the rest of London.
- Is Northfield expensive to buy in?
- Relative to the rest of London, Northfield is among London's pricier areas: its purchase-affordability score is 5/20, where higher means cheaper per square foot (HM Land Registry sold prices matched to floor areas).
- What are the schools like near Northfield?
- Northfield scores 59 for education, based on Ofsted ratings and walking distance to the nearest rated primary and secondary schools. 4 schools within a kilometre hold an Outstanding rating.
