Ealing Centre for Independent Living. ECIL is an organisation of disabled people working to eliminate the barriers preventing disabled people from living full and independent lives.
Come to ECIL for everything you want to know about Disability, but were too afraid to ask. We offer advice, information and we can help you get what you need to live an independent life. It's FREE to join, so why not become a member.
Venue of the month - August
Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Ealing Broadway
The Gourmet Burger Kitchen is located on Haven Green, a short distance north of Ealing Broadway station. The venue has a raised floor, accessed by an internal ramp, with plenty of room and moveable tables and chairs. The toilet is accessible, but you will need to ask a member of staff for the key.
