Located in Hanwell in the borough of Ealing, this is one of London's last, truly undiscovered gems. This is somewhere with a strong sense of self, brimful of character and individuality, with a vibrant, welcoming community. With its clusters of independent cafés, bars and shops, and over 3,300 acres of green space within the borough of Ealing, the place has a wonderfully relaxed, villagey feel. Connections are also excellent: Crossrail's arrival will take you from Hanwell Station to central London in only 17 minutes.
