Situated in the London Borough of Ealing, this region boasts an impressive total of seven railways, making it one of the most accessible parts of London! Historically, Acton was an ancient village; more recently, however, as London became bigger and expanded it got swallowed up, losing its identity and becoming a region within the capital city. In fact, Acton only became part of Ealing in 1965 and was formerly considered to be located in Middlesex.
Currently, Acton is a popular residential area and even boasts the largest housing estate in West London with a total of 2,000 homes and in the region of 6,000 residents. Although Acton is largely dominated by residential properties, there is still some light industry, particularly in the Southern regions that link with Chiswick. |
