Ealing, Queen of the Suburbs Walk
'The walk itself starts at Haven Green, moving northwards up Haven Lane and eventually to the top of Castlebar Hill via Brentham Garden Estate. Additional notes on St Peter's Church, on the corner of Mount Park Road, are provided by the Reverend Richard Hayes, vicar of St Peter's from 1982 to 1991. The walk then takes participants south again, past Ealing Abbey to the Town Hall and Christ the Saviour Church on New Broadway, before heading down through Walpole Park, onto Ealing Green and finally to St Mary's Church in South Ealing.'

Overview
Walking notes around the centre of Ealing, originally published in 1970, updated to 1986, with some more recent footnotes.
'Who first coined the term Queen of the Suburbs is not known, but the name sticks to the present day. The Mount Park Road area still retains much of its original character and is still dominated by grand family homes. For the most part, it has resisted the conversion into dormitory bed-sitters, an effect which has over taken so many of the other London suburbs.'
