Gunnersbury Park Museum, in Hounslow, has told the story of Ealing and Hounslow since it opened in 1929, with around 50,000 museum and archive items on show across nine galleries. You'll find the Skylight gallery's 1880s Doll's House and Stanhope Printing Press, the Butler's Pantry revealing life among the Rothschilds' staff, Victorian Historic Kitchens, a Toys and Games room, and costume displays spanning centuries. It suits visitors keen on local history, social heritage and family-friendly exploring, though note the Historic Kitchens' opening hours depend on staffing. Gunnersbury station is 0.7 miles away, and with 388 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it's an easy addition to a wider stay in the area.
