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 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 in to the city. Since 1965, Acton has been part of the east of Ealing, but some areas of East Acton are within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and a small part of South Acton is within the London Borough of Hounslow. Acton is one of the locations with the most stations bearing their name anywhere in the UK, with seven stations including its name. Central Acton is generally known as the hub of commerce and retail on the former major road between London and Oxford, called the Uxbridge Road. The main road consists of lots of inns, which go 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 is home to the largest housing estate in West London, named the South Acton estate, with approximately 2,000 homes and 5,800 residents. The location is at the moment in phase 2 of a major 15-year phased regeneration which includes almost total demolition of the current residential units and the construction of brand new and much more residences. This is likely to boost its population even further.
