Norwood Green
Ealing, London
PocketsNorwood Green North & Windmill Park (Bixley Field · Warren Farm Nature Reserve · Glade Lane Canalside Park · Grand Union Canal)Norwood Green South (Tentelow Wood · Wolf Fields Park)Southall Green East
Norwood Green sits in south Ealing between Southall and Hounslow, one of the few places in west London where a genuine village green still anchors the ward. Sixteen listed buildings — including the Grade II* Church of St Mary, the Grade II* Former Norwood Free School, and the Grade II Norwood Hall — mark the old core around the green. Warren Farm Nature Reserve runs along the northern edge, and total green space reaches 85 hectares. Ten outstanding-rated schools sit within the catchment. The downsides are real: public-transport access is only moderate, with Southall station the main rail link and the Elizabeth line the fastest route to central London; safety scores sit well below the London median; and air quality along the A4 corridor to the south is worse than average. Conservation area cover reaches about a fifth of the ward, so the village core is protected but the wider fabric is mixed. This is a green-edge ward rather than a high-amenity one.

Norwood Green, quick answers
- Is Norwood Green safe?
- Norwood Green scores 30 for safety, based on street-level recorded crime (police.uk) — recording more crime than most London wards. 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 Norwood Green a good place to live?
- Norwood Green scores 38 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 (73) and property prices & growth (53); its weakest is cultural signal (16). Whether it suits you depends on what you weight — the same data re-ranked around your own priorities can read very differently.

- Limited public-transport access: Transport for London rates the typical spot in Norwood Green 2 on its 0–8 public-transport access scale, which puts the ward at 25 for connectivity relative to the rest of London.
- Is Norwood Green expensive to buy in?
- Relative to the rest of London, Norwood Green is mid-priced by London standards: its purchase-affordability score is 12/20, where higher means cheaper per square foot (HM Land Registry sold prices matched to floor areas).
