Trees and gardens in Ealing
Ealing earned the name Queen of the Suburbs for its tree-lined Victorian and Edwardian streets, and those trees are still there: big London planes and limes along the avenues off Ealing Common and Walpole Park, and cherries, birches and conifers in the long back gardens behind them.
Out in Hanwell, Greenford and Northolt the houses are 1930s semis on longer plots, where self-seeded sycamores, overgrown leylandii and fruit trees planted by the first owners are the usual problem.
