The Summer issue is here!
Summer has officially arrived and with it comes the launch of the latest edition of Ealing Living, a celebration of everything we love about the season in West London.
For many of us, summer means spending as much time outdoors as possible. Picnics in leafy parks, evening walks in the sunshine and discovering new local cafés with friends all capture the spirit of the season. This issue embraces that feeling while highlighting the vibrant green spaces and thriving community that make this part of London so special.
Inside readers will find plenty to inspire the months ahead. Our foodie Editor’s Picks highlight standout local food brands perfect for picnic season including two exciting newcomers making their debut in the area. Our Just Landed pages also showcase a range of independent businesses - alongside fitness, wellness and lifestyle brands throughout, many offering exclusive discounts through the Ealing Living loyalty card scheme.
Planning a busy summer? Our Summer at a Glance guide brings together key events and seasonal highlights while a special feature sees five local residents sharing their favourite ways to enjoy the outdoors and make the most of longer days.
For families navigating the school holidays we have also included ideas for a more screen light summer. While going completely screen free may be a challenge there are plenty of simple ways to encourage children to look up, head outside and make lasting memories away from devices.
Elsewhere this issue celebrates the beauty of Ealing Common, our cover star and the focus of the Why We Love feature. We also share expert advice on managing hayfever plus an interiors feature Inside Out exploring how to bring outdoor living into your home.
Of course food remains at the heart of this issue with visits to local favourites including Ealing Oak, The Good Fortune Club, Pizzaiolo, The Lil Kitchen and Craft Burger.
From green spaces to great food and inspiring local stories this summer edition is designed to help readers make the most of every sunny moment.
We hope it encourages you to get outside, explore and enjoy everything the season has to offer.
