Northfields, London

Northfields is a largely residential area of Ealing in west London. It is centred on Northfield Avenue, a shopping street of mostly independent shops and restaurants. The area is served by the Piccadilly Line and by the E2 and E3 bus services running to Greenford, Ealing, Brentford and Acton and the N11 night bus to Central London. It is home to Little Ealing Primary School, Fielding Primary School and Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School. Northfield Avenue has an annual street festival organised by the local trade association, NABA (Northfield Avenue Business Association). The first festival was held in summer 2007. Maps of Ealing from 1890 and before show Northfields as almost entirely rural, with just a few houses along Little Ealing...
