Acton is a district inside the London Borough of Ealing in west London. It’s 6.1 miles west of Charing Cross. At the 2011 census, Acton had a population of 62,480 – a ten year increase of 8,791 people. 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 sections of East Acton are in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and a small section of South Acton is in the London Borough of Hounslow. Acton is one of the areas with the most stations bearing their name anywhere in the UK, with seven stations including its name. Central Acton is called the hub of commerce and retail on the former major road between London and Oxford, called the Uxbridge Road. The main road contains a great deal of inns, which date back to the late Tudor period as stopping places for travellers. Now, the A40 dual carriageway is the main route from London to Oxford, and it bypasses central Acton. It still passes via East Acton and North Acton. Acton boasts the largest housing estate in West London, named the South Acton estate, with approximately 2,000 properties and 5,800 residents. The region is presently in phase two of a major 15-year phased regeneration which consists of virtually total demolition of the current residential units as well as the construction of brand new and much more residences. This is most likely to enhance its population even further.
