I never knew it was called Pitshanger Manor! And even more confused that it is not in Pitshanger Park. Anyway - when are you going there and do you fancy meeting up?

We have to be there (institute) by 10:45 this Saturday, and the manor seems like the closest of anything to go see. If you're about John, yeah that would be good to meet up

Re: Pitshanger Manor Ealing????

Isn't that the college by Walpole Park? I think it has had a revamp / name change in the last few years. The house is next door to the college.


PM Gallery & House


I wonder if Ealing Studios do tours?!

Take plenty of change too, those parking machines are not cheap!! If you're going to be in Ealing a while, you may be better off parking in the shopping centre, or further along towards the Uni which I think has side streets that are not 'residents only', especially on a weekend.

You could, of course, just go to O'Neills for breakfast!!!!

Thanks for the heads up Pie I'll be arriving via sat nav, and have zero experience of Ealing. From what i saw on the map, yes that is the house by the park and studios. Anyways i will be taking the camera.

Sorry mate, but I have "domestic duties" on a Saturday morning

Ealing does get quite busy on a Saturday, best place for you to park your car is in the Broadway Centre car park Car parking and tariffs

Looking forward to seeing the shots!

Well its not that exciting to be honest, but with some TLC it definitely could be.






Its a shame that its been left to rot really.

Re: Pitshanger Manor Ealing????

Looks like you would have been better off trying to get some spring flowers or candids of people in the Broadway Centre...
