Ealing Common Hotels

Historically a rural village of Middlesex county, Ealing is one of countless small places to have been absorbed into London as the centuries go by. Ealing stands out as a popular place among tourists though, at some point garnering the resilient nickname of ‘Queen of the Suburbs’. Free from the grime of the city yet only seven miles from Charing Cross, Ealing maintains much of its historic charm, with many grand old family homes dominating its landscape. The area is also still famous for Ealing Studios, which are the oldest functioning film studios in the world, and have been the birthplace of classic Ealing Comedies like The Ladykillers and Kind Hearts and Coronets, and are still used for Doctor Who and other British productions even now.

The most interesting Ealing hotel is probably the four star Hotel 55, which distinguishes itself from its notoriously suburban location by way of a striking design sense full of clean lines, curves and modern furnishings. The whole place looks a little like the lounge at an upscale members-only gym, something you’d never expect from the prosaic exterior. The 25 rooms are elegant and comfortable, and the restaurant serves fine Japanese cuisine.

Less striking but considerably cheaper is the budget hotel Abbey Lodge, which has been well-received by customers. The Lodge is little more than a standard B&B, but is cheap, very comfortable, and much less grotty-looking than you might expect.

A similar option is the two star Creffield Lodge, which is a similar arrangement in an attractive Ealing house, but has a restaurant that operates all day.

Hotels in Ealing are well-served by tube links, with four separate stations. North Ealing and South Ealing are both on the Piccadilly Line, and Ealing Common is on the Piccadilly and District Lines. Largest is Ealing Broadway, which connects with the Central Line, the District Line and National Rail.
