If theatres are more your thing, you're in luck. Wonderful theatres are scattered all over the borough, including the Questors on Mattock Lane. For more info, visit [http://www.ealing.gov.uk/services/leisure/entertainment/theatre/ Ealing Council's listing of theatres]. The cinema is currently under reconstruction, said to include over 10 screens!
Visit Walpole park just east of the town square for a relaxing experience. There is a small pond and an ice cream stall. There are also great playground facilites, and even a miniature zoo!
Hippy Heaven is a shop that sells nice trinkets, jewelry, incense, and stones. There is also a tattoo/piercing shop next door, with skilled artists.
The square in Ealing Broadway is often eventful, with beatiful decorations at Christmas time and musicians performing in the Summer.
The Okawari is famous for its wonderful Japanese food, and with Takara plum wine on the menu it is worth a trip. There is also a local Haha's, and The Green Cafe and Bar has an extensive burger menu. Some alternatives include the Dutch pancake house My Old Dutch, the breakfast and dinner-serving Caffe Uno and Edwards, and the oriental restaurant Coco's Noodle Bar, serving delicious food from all over East and South East Asia.
Pubs in the centre of Ealing tend to be lively and rather noisy. Finnegans Wake on Ealing Green is cheap, lively and popular with students, while the North Star near the tube station is slightly more upmarket and stocks a wide variety of draught beers. However, Ealing is also home to a number of homely old fashioned pubs, such as The Haven Arms near Ealing Broadway Station and The Drayton opposite West Ealing Station.
On the slightly cheaper end of the scale, the Caspian Hotel is on Haven Green, opposite Ealing Broadway Station.
