Ealing Common is a London Underground station on the Uxbridge branch of the Piccadilly line and on the Ealing Broadway branch of the District line. Eastbound, the next station is Acton Town; westbound, the next station is North Ealing on the Piccadilly line and Ealing Broadway on the District line. The two platform station serves all Piccadilly line and District line services including Ealing Broadway, Rayners Lane, Uxbridge, Cockfosters and Upminster. Here, the District and Piccadilly share the same pair of tracks through the station – the only other example where a deep level line and a sub surface line share the same pair of tracks is the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge. It is the only station west of Acton Town to be served by both the Piccadilly and District lines.
The station is located on Uxbridge Road (A4020), about 450m east of the junction with Gunnersbury Avenue and Hanger Lane (A406, North Circular Road). It is in Travelcard Zone 3.
Ealing Common station was opened on 1 July 1879 by the District Railway (DR, now the District line) on its extension from Turnham Green to Ealing Broadway. From 1886 until 1 March 1910 the station was known as Ealing Common and West Acton after which it changed to its current name.
