Southall Broadway
Ealing, London
PocketsSouthall West (The Broadway · east · South Road · north-east)Norwood Green North & Windmill ParkSouthall Park
Southall Broadway sits along the central strip of the Uxbridge Road in south Ealing, the commercial heart of one of London's most identifiably South Asian neighbourhoods. Successive waves of Punjabi, Indian and Pakistani migration from the 1950s onwards shaped the high street, and the Liberty Cinema — a Grade II* listed building with a distinctive Chinese-dragon facade — switched to showing Indian films in the 1970s in response. The ward has three listed buildings including the Liberty Cinema and the Grade II Red Lion Public House. Transport is moderate, with Southall station now on the Elizabeth line giving direct trains to Paddington and Canary Wharf, and around 219 food venues pack the Broadway with restaurants, sweet shops and grocers. Southall Park offers 10.3 hectares. The drawbacks are notable. Safety scores are low, air-quality is poor from heavy Uxbridge Road traffic, green space is thin at 12.2 hectares, and only four Ofsted-outstanding schools sit nearby. Culture scores understate the high street's liveliness because they don't capture everyday retail.
