Ealing Walks with a Difference - Around South Ealing

Join us for a delightful walk through South Ealing and uncover the charm of the area! 🏙️✨

Kick off your journey at the entrance to South Ealing Cemetery at 11:00 AM, where we’ll gather for a brief introduction before embarking on a gentle two-hour exploration. 🕊️

What to Expect:

• Cemetery Exploration: Stroll through the serene South Ealing Cemetery, making stops at notable graves. 🪦
• Historical Insights: Travel through key locations, such as the crossroads of Popes Lane and Little Ealing Lane, while reflecting on the neighborhood's evolution.
• Cultural Significance: Discover local shops, cafés, and community hubs including the Assyrian Society Centre and Acton Recycling Community shop. ☕️🏞️
• Natural Beauty: Visit green spaces like Maytrees Rest Garden and Church Gardens, leading you to the original Ealing village featuring St Mary's Church — the oldest in Ealing! ⛪️
• Optional Relaxation: If time allows, we'll explore some of the area's oldest buildings before enjoying a casual gathering at a former coaching inn. 🍻

Purpose-Driven Walk:

This walk is part of Ealing’s initiative to promote safety and connectivity within the community. As we stroll, we'll engage in reflective discussions about:

• What makes a space feel safe? 🤔
• Are there areas less welcoming? 🤷‍♂️
• How different people perceive the same space? 👥
  No pressure to contribute; feel free to listen and enjoy!
