Acton
Acton is a district inside 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 people.
Acton means 'oak farm' or ''farm by oak trees', and comes 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 sections 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, referred to as the Uxbridge Road. The main road consists of a lot of inns, which date back to the late Tudor period as stopping places for travellers. Now, the A40 dual carriageway is the major route from London to Oxford, and it bypasses central Acton. It still passes by means of East Acton and North Acton.
Acton contains the largest housing estate in West London, named the South Acton estate, with approximately 2,000 properties and 5,800 residents. The location is at the moment in phase 2 of a significant 15-year phased regeneration which contains almost full demolition of the existing residential units along with the building of brand new and much more residences. This is likely to boost its population even more.
