There were 96 spaces for culture mapped across Ealing in the latest update to the Greater London Authority's cultural infrastructure map (2022).

Ealing’s cultural consumption facilities provide spaces for artistic expression, experimentation, and innovation. Examples of Ealing’s existing cultural consumption facilities include Pitzhanger Manor and Gallery, The Questors Theatre and the Hanwell Cavern. Cultural production facilities, such as studios, galleries and recording and rehearsal facilities are where Ealing’s artists and cultural producers generate content. This includes artist workspaces, such as Colville Road Artist Workspace in South Acton, Film and TV studios such as the famed Ealing Studios, and Urchin music recording studios in Southall. OPEN Southall in The Green Quarter provides a new model of mixed production, education and community space that demonstrates how production, consumption and ancillary space can be blended to deliver dynamic places. Ealing is also home to a varied and healthy ‘sub-strata’ of businesses which are part of the creative supply chain. These are not captured in the Greater London Authority mapping of cultural infrastructure, but are critical components of Ealing’s economic role within London and the wider region. Examples of supply chain sub-strata activities in Ealing include storage and prop hire for film and TV, A/V equipment rental, catering companies which service the film and events industries, and metal workshops which build sets. Much of this activity takes place on Ealing’s industrial land.
