Car Hire Ealing

Ealing Mini Guide

Hiring a car is a great way to get around the London suburb of Ealing. This is an attractive area which received the nickname - the queen of the suburbs. We give you unlimited mileage throughout the London Borough of Ealing and you can travel anywhere you want in London and the UK. Nearby landmarks to Ealing include Charing Cross railway station which is one of the main rail terminals in London. This historical village was originally inhabited by Saxons and there is evidence of early settlement as far back as 7,000 years ago.

Over time various villages emerged and parish churches, before they all joined together to become a suburb which is part of Middlesex county. Ealing was the site of the first private school in the country known as the Church of St Mary's School. The area was mostly made up of farmland. Many public houses were created for travellers so that they could refresh themselves on their way through this part of London. This means that tourists can enjoy some fantastic old traditional pubs which offer real ale and a good selection of pub grub.

It was not until midway through the 19th century that Ealing really began to expand thanks to the presence of the railway. It has grown over the years and is now a significant retail and economic centre with a large population.

Ealing has come a long way since its origins as a rural village in Middlesex and is now one of the main residential areas of West London. The railway stations of Charing Cross and London city centre are not far away with car hire in Ealing.

Ealing is also a cultural hub within England for its film studios which are the oldest in the world and have produced many fine comedies such as Notting Hill. Much of the growth of Ealing into a modern Victorian Suburb was initially fuelled by the arrival of the Great Western mainline railway station.
