Central Studios Ealing

As you walk out of Central Studios still wiping the sleep from your eyes from a deep slumber in your room’s comfy bed, look to your right and instantly spot the enormous trees that frame Walpole Park. Take another right and head off down High Street, a bustling strip where shops, pubs and cafes - including the obligatory Starbucks and its free Wi-Fi - will keep you company.

Unspoilt by high-rise buildings, soak in the sights and sounds of an area historically coined the ‘Queen of the Suburbs’ for its leafy, green outlook. Those elements are also intertwined into your new Central Studios home, where plants adorn rooms decked out in pastel colours and wooden finishes.

All studios come with an ensuite shower, double bed, study area and plenty of storage. Clever design makes the most of the space, such as breakfast bar built out of the headboard, giving you somewhere to sit and eat the culinary creations you whip up in your kitchenette.

The spacious, comfortable common room is the perfect place to settle down with your housemates and watch the latest Game of Thrones or Sky series of the moment. Onsite laundry, secure entry, central heating and bike storage complete your stay.

The Met Film School and UWL are just around the corner and other universities are easily reached by public transport. Try one of Ealing’s many Asian-themed cafes or sample the pints on tap at the Red Lion. For another escape from the books, the area also offers a variety of festivals throughout the year, ranging from jazz and comedy to opera and blues.
