Acton is a district within 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 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 in to the city. Since 1965, Acton has been part of the east of Ealing, but some sections of East Acton are in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and a small portion of South Acton is inside the London Borough of Hounslow. Acton is one of the locations with the most stations bearing their name anywhere in the United kingdom, with seven stations including its name. Central Acton is known as the hub of commerce and retail on the former main road between London and Oxford, referred to as the Uxbridge Road. The main road contains a lot of inns, which go as far back to the late Tudor period as stopping places for travellers. Currently, 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 boasts the largest housing estate in West London, named the South Acton estate, with roughly 2,000 houses and 5,800 residents. The region is at the moment in phase two of a significant 15-year phased regeneration which contains almost complete demolition of the existing residential units along with the construction of new and much more residences. This is likely to boost its population even more.
