Acton is a district in 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 inhabitants. Acton means ‘oak farm’ or ”farm by oak trees’, and originates from old English. It was initially 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 parts of East Acton are inside 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 places with the most stations bearing their name anywhere in the United kingdom, with seven stations including its name. Central Acton is called the hub of commerce and retail on the former principal road between London and Oxford, referred to as the Uxbridge Road. The main road consists of a great deal of inns, which go back to the late Tudor period as stopping places for travellers. These days, the A40 dual carriageway is the principal route from London to Oxford, and it bypasses central Acton. It still passes via East Acton and North Acton. Acton hosts the biggest housing estate in West London, named the South Acton estate, with roughly 2,000 properties and 5,800 residents. The region is currently in phase 2 of a major 15-year phased regeneration which includes almost full demolition of the current residential units along with the building of new and much more residences. This is most likely to boost its population even more.
