Central Ealing

Central Ealing brings together the approaches to Ealing Broadway, the shopping streets and the route south towards Ealing Green. The name can mean different things in property listings, so this page uses one specific outline: the complete council-defined Central Ealing Neighbourhood Plan area. It includes more than a retail frontage and is separate from the existing Ealing Town Centre report. When comparing addresses, check the outline on the map before comparing the figures. A nearby street can be outside this neighbourhood even when its listing describes it as central Ealing.

The public summary and map show September 2026, the latest imported month, with 185 Police.uk records inside the complete neighbourhood boundary. Plus defaults to April through September 2026, with 1,228 records across the same polygon. The six-month total includes 279 records classified as anti-social behaviour, 248 as violence and sexual offences and 244 as shoplifting. Those are police reporting categories, not descriptions of every street. A busy shopping destination attracts visitors as well as residents, and these raw counts are not adjusted for its daytime population. Always keep the displayed dates alongside the total.

Ealing Broadway is an obvious starting point for a visit, but the final walk matters as much as the rail journey. The neighbourhood outline reaches around Haven Green and follows an irregular line through the surrounding streets. Look at the route from the station exit to the particular building, including crossings and the approach after dark. A straight line across the map may cross railway land or lead to a different entrance. Check current services and access arrangements with the operator, then walk the route at a time that resembles your usual commute.

Ealing Council identifies Pitzhanger Manor and Gallery and Walpole Park as central local landmarks. They are useful reference points when comparing the southern part of the neighbourhood with the Broadway end. The adopted outline follows a detailed line around streets and sites; it does not simply take every place beside the park. Check an address against the actual boundary rather than assuming that a landmark name establishes coverage. On a viewing, compare the route via the main shopping streets with the approach around Ealing Green, and check the entrances and public paths you would depend on.

This is the full Central Ealing neighbourhood-plan area, not the larger referendum voting area shown on the council map. It excludes West Ealing Centre, most streets farther north and the rest of Ealing borough. The separately retained Ealing Town Centre page uses a different planning polygon, so the two pages describe different geographic scopes. The outline includes residential and cultural places as well as commercial streets. Neither its name nor its relationship to the town centre makes it a borough-wide report.

Boundary attribution: Ealing Council, published by the Greater London Authority in Planning Local Plan Data under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The full source was retrieved on 11 November 2026; this is a retrieval date, not a claimed geometry edit date. The council confirms the neighbourhood plan forms part of its development plan. The complete polygon lies within the retained ONS Ealing borough outline, but neighbourhoods need not cover the whole borough or sum to its totals.

Police.uk locations are approximate and the available records can have coverage gaps. A marker does not identify the home, shop or person involved in an incident. These raw totals are not personal safety scores and cannot predict what will happen to you. Compare the same public month across areas, or use matching six-month periods in Plus. For a property visit, note the route to the station, the nearest useful shops and the streets around the entrance. The shared interpretation and map-and-Plus guidance explain the data limits without turning an area count into a judgement about an individual address.
