Ealing Local Information
Ealing is a town in the London borough of Ealing, and is referred
to as the “Queen of the Suburbs” (this nickname is as
old as the 1850s, when improved travel meant more and more expanses
of residential development). The name Ealing is thought to be from
about 700, when it was spelt ‘Gillingas’, meaning ‘place
of the people from Gilla’, the present spelling was settled
upon in the 1800s.
Remains have been found to provide evidence for Ealing having been
inhabited for at least 7000 years, although the earliest surviving
census only goes back as far as 1599. The church of Saint Marys
in located near to Saint Marys Road, where many early settlements
were, with the church dating back to the early 1100s. Ealing began
its life as farmlands, and as London developed it became market
gardens, but is now mainly suburban development. Drive past the
old church in your car hire and picture what life would have been
like so many centuries ago.
During the WWII Polish pilots flew out of the nearby aerodrome
and because of this there is now a healthy Polish community residing
in Ealing and since Poland joined the EU its migrants have been
welcomed here.
The Ealing studios are the oldest in the world, and have produced
some of the best known entertainment as well. While in your car
hire, see if you can find which Ealing locations have appeared in
movies you may have seen, such as ‘Notting Hill’ or
‘The Importance of Being Earnest’. The hardest bit will
be deciding which car hire you want!
