Acton is a district in the London Borough of Ealing in west London. It’s 6.1 miles west of Charing Cross. In the 2011 census, Acton had a population of 62,480 – a ten-year increase of 8,791 inhabitants. Acton means ‘oak farm’ or ”farm by oak trees’, and comes from old English. It was originally an ancient village, and as London expanded it was absorbed in to the city. Since 1965, Acton has been part of the east of Ealing, but some parts of East Acton are within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and a small portion 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 United kingdom, with seven stations including its name. Central Acton is called the hub of commerce and retail on the former main road between London and Oxford, referred to as the Uxbridge Road. The main road consists of lots of inns, which date back to the late Tudor period as stopping places for travellers. Now, the A40 dual carriageway is the key route from London to Oxford, and it bypasses central Acton. It still passes by way of East Acton and North Acton. Acton houses the largest housing estate in West London, named the South Acton estate, with approximately 2,000 homes and 5,800 residents. The region is presently in phase two of a major 15-year phased regeneration which includes virtually total demolition of the current residential units as well as the construction of new and much more residences. This is likely to raise its population even more.
