Places to see in London Ealing
Ealing Attractions
Over the years, companies who had big ideas and needed lots of space but also wanted to be in London set up camp in Ealing, and the highlight for us is Ealing Studios. The amazing history of these early film and television studios, which even gave their name to the iconic Ealing Comedies, is an opportunity you won’t get elsewhere. It’s also the oldest dedicated film studio in the world, having been built in 1902 (eat your heart out, Hollywood!).
Recommended Attraction in Ealing
But an equal attraction for those visiting Ealing is the Sri Guru Singh Sabha, the largest Hindu temple in Europe, and one of London’s most architecturally staggering buildings, particularly if you get to have a peek inside! As well as learning a great deal about the peaceful and fascinating Sikh religion, the interior is decorated with a wow-factor seldom rivalled in British interiors (excepting certain palaces), and will prove to be a highlight of any trip.
