Acton

Acton is a district within the London Borough of Ealing in west London. It is 6.1 miles west of Charing Cross. At the 2011 census, Acton had a population of 62,480 - a 10-year increase of 8,791 people.

Acton means 'oak farm' or ''farm by oak trees', and derives from old English. It was originally an ancient village, and as London expanded it was absorbed into the city. Since 1965, Acton has been part of the east of Ealing, but some sections of East Acton are inside the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and a small section of South Acton is within the London Borough of Hounslow. Acton is one of the places with the most stations bearing their name anywhere within the country, with seven stations including its name.

Central Acton is known as the hub of commerce and retail on the former major road between London and Oxford, referred to as the Uxbridge Road. The main road includes a great deal of inns, which date back to the late Tudor period as stopping places for travellers. Nowadays, the A40 dual carriageway is the primary route from London to Oxford, and it bypasses central Acton. It still passes by way of East Acton and North Acton.

Acton contains the largest housing estate in West London, named the South Acton estate, with around 2,000 properties and 5,800 residents. The location is at the moment in phase two of a significant 15-year phased regeneration which consists of nearly total demolition of the existing residential units and also the building of new and more residences. This is most likely to raise its population even more.
