Student Accommodation in Ealing

Student housing in Ealing

Ealing sits on the western edge of London, close enough to the centre for a lecture and a night out, far enough out that your rent doesn't need three jobs to cover it. Streets of Victorian terraces and low-rise blocks surround a proper town centre, and three tube lines plus the Elizabeth line mean you're never stuck waiting around. If you're searching for student housing in Ealing, Housr lets you filter by price, room type, and bathroom setup so you can see what's actually available before you commit to a viewing.

What's around Ealing

Walpole Park is the green space most students end up in eventually, for a run before a deadline or just to get out of the house. At its edge sits Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery, the neoclassical house Sir John Soane designed and lived in, restored and reopened as a gallery in 2019. A short walk away, Ealing Studios has been making films since 1902. It's the oldest continuously working film studio in the world, and it's still in active production today.

For food and a pint, the Ealing Park Tavern draws a crowd for its Sunday roasts and its own microbrewery. The Rose & Crown and the Duke of Kent are solid Fuller's pubs with beer gardens for the rare sunny afternoon. On the food side, Café Grove covers Polish comfort food, Santa Maria near Ealing Studios does a proper thin-crust pizza, and Molana in West Ealing is the one to know for Persian cooking. Dickens Yard, the development built around the piazza next to Ealing Broadway station, adds a run of restaurants and bars right on your doorstep for evenings when cooking isn't happening. Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre covers the supermarket run and the basics.

Getting around

Ealing Broadway is the transport hub, and it earns that title. The station is a western terminus for both the Central line and the District line, and it's also served by the Elizabeth line, which gets you into Paddington in under 15 minutes. From there, the rest of central London opens up without a change. GWR services from the same station also run out to Reading and Heathrow if you need the airport.

Local buses fill in the gaps: the E1, E2, E3, E8, E10, and E11 link Ealing Broadway to Greenford, Brentford, West Ealing, and Northfields, while routes like the 65, 207, and 297 head towards Acton, Southall, Hanwell, and Shepherd's Bush. If your house is a bit further from the station than you'd like, there's almost always a bus that covers it.

Universities near Ealing

The University of West London has its main site right in the area, on St Mary's Road, about 15 minutes on foot from Ealing Broadway and within easy reach of Ealing Common and South Ealing tube stations too. It's home to the School of Law, the London School of Film, Media and Design, the London College of Music, and the Geller College of Hospitality and Tourism, among others, so a lot of Ealing's student population is walking distance from campus. Head over to the University of West London accommodation page to see what's near your course specifically.

With the Central and Elizabeth lines both running from the same station, students studying at universities further into central London use Ealing as a base too, trading a slightly longer commute for a lot more space and a lot less rent.

Accommodation in Ealing

Student houses in Ealing cluster on the residential streets around the centre, while studios and en-suite rooms tend to sit closer to the station and campus. On Housr, you can filter by weekly price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and whether you want a single room or a self-contained studio, then flick between list, tile, and interactive map views to see exactly where everything sits relative to campus and the shops.
