Ealing Common

Ealing Common is an area of open space which became prominent at the time of the enclosures of the late eighteenth century.

Ealing Common was consolidated after the purchase of the common land by the Ealing Local Board.

The Common is a large area with avenues of horse chestnut trees, most of which were planted in the late Victorian period. Charles Jones was the Ealing borough surveyor and responsible for the nineteenth-century layout. The northern part of the common has a notably large oak tree as its highlight. London plane trees are also found with horse chestnuts around the perimeter of the common.

Ealing Common station was opened on 1 July 1879 by the District Railway on a new extension from Turnham Green to Ealing Broadway.

Between 1886 and 1910 the station was called Ealing Common and West Acton after which it changed to its current name.
