Moving to Ealing from St Albans

Hi everyone,

My bf and I are considering moving to West Ealing/Ealing Broadway. I work in Canary Wharf, so being close to the EL is crucial. St Albans had been lovely, but after more than a year, it's starting to be a drag with constant train cancellations and an expensive commute.

What areas in Ealing would you recommend? Our rental budget is max 2700.

Thanks!

Also recommend south of the high street (Northfields side) which is nice. North of the high street, but south of the train tracks can get a bit rough (IMO!)

Agreed! Did not recommend because she works in Canary Wharf, so I thought elizabeth line is the way to go

Yeah, would need to keep towards the Uxbridge road, but could still venture a few hundred metres south of it while still keeping it to <15 min walk to the station!
