Ealing
Home of the film studios of the same name which catapulted the likes of Peter Sellers and Alec Guiness to stardom, the borough of Ealing is situated in west London. Ealing was created when the London boroughs of Ealing and Southall and the Middlesex town of Acton were merged in 1965.
In recent years Ealing studios has celebrated it's centenary, making them the oldest film studios in the world still in production. As well as the legendary Ealing comedies of the 40's and 50's putting the borough on the map, it has more recently been immortalised in the books of comic fantasy writer Robert Rankin, as well as being home to both Brentford and Queens Park Rangers football clubs.
Ealing has more than 300,000 inhabitants, almost a quarter of whom are of south Asian origin alongside large Afro-Caribbean and Chinese communities, representing the diversity London is famed for.
