Northfields (/ˈnɔːθfiːldz/) is a largely residential area in the London Borough of Ealing in west London. It is centred on Northfield Avenue, a shopping street of mostly independent shops and restaurants. A small section of Northfields lies within the London borough of Hounslow.
The area is served by the Piccadilly line from Northfields tube station designed by architect Charles Holden and by the E2 and E3 bus services running to Greenford, Ealing, Brentford, Hanwell, Acton and Chiswick, and the N11, a night bus to Central London. The Northfield ward is the most prosperous in the borough of Ealing, it has high levels of education, employment and home ownership.
It is home to Little Ealing Primary School, Fielding Primary School and Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School.
Northfield Avenue has an annual street festival organised by the local trade association, NABA (Northfield Avenue Business Association). The first festival was held in summer 2007.
The Plough Inn which marks the junction of Little Ealing Lane and Northfields Avenue was in existence by 1722. Maps of Ealing from 1890 and before show Northfields as almost entirely rural, with just a few houses along Little Ealing Lane. The rest of the area was largely orchards. The arrival of the District Railway in 1883, and the opening of the Northfields Halt in 1908, prompted development of the area.
