For a spot of retail therapy, Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre is home to most high street chain shops as well as a few top fashion outlets, with brands including Boots, Monsoon and H&M. The centre is also home to branches of Dirty Burger and Chicken Shop, cult restaurants from the Soho House Group. Alternatively, if you’re looking for something a little more international, take a trip to the busy streets of Southall Broadwayl – known colloquially as ‘Little India’. Here you will find steaming street food and a strong selection of Indian restaurants and takeaways nestled alongside the latest designs in fashion and jewellery straight out of South Asia. Locals in Ealing are spoilt with choice when it comes to their weekly shop. Alongside Sainsbury’s and Waitrose, the weekly Ealing Farmer’s Market on Leeland Road includes stalls such as the Handpicked Shellfish Company and authentic produce from the Bath Soft Cheese Company. Ealing also supports one of the largest Polish communities in London, so it’s not difficult to locate a little Sopocka ham in places such as The Polish Deli. Meanwhile, on Ealing Common, Japanese grocers Natural Natural is a popular stop for a variety of Asian produce.
