Perivale

Perivale is a west London neighbourhood in the London Borough of Ealing, bounded to the south by Western Avenue (A40). The Central line serves the area at Perivale station, providing direct travel into central London. A local landmark is the Hoover Building on Western Avenue, a large early 20th-century factory building repurposed for offices and shops. The Broadway is the main shopping parade, with independent shops, cafes and a library clustered near the station. Perivale Park provides sports pitches and a community events space close to the residential streets.

To the north, Perivale Wood Local Nature Reserve, managed by the Selborne Society, preserves woodland and recorded species on a small site within the neighbourhood. Housing in Perivale ranges from interwar terraces to postwar estates, with small pockets of light industrial premises along the main roads. Community facilities include a primary school, a community centre and regular local markets and groups. The area’s mix of transport links, working buildings and a compact nature reserve shapes daily life for residents.
