Tbf you're in a shitty part of London. I was in Leeds a few months ago and was in a bar opposite the Uni, was very nice. However there also shit bits.

This. You are in one of the only parts of London where there isn't really much! You could go for a short walk to Acton if you fancy a takeaway or a Irish pub or get the tube down to Hammersmith. Fair bit there and Hammersmith station will get you anywhere in London fairly quickly. Take a trip up to China town one eve or maybe south bank?

You're right next to the central line, so you can get right into London and take a look around. Food will be a little more expensive but there's a lot more to do in central, even if you're only doing some sightseeing.

How long are you about until? Ace is 2 miles from you and next monday is french car night which all of us normally go to.
Scott is about 8 ish miles from you, I'm about 13 and then there are some others a little further out.
