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 inhabitants.
Acton means 'oak farm' or ''farm by oak trees', and comes from old English. It was originally 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 areas of East Acton are in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and a small section of South Acton is within the London Borough of Hounslow. Acton is one of the areas with the most stations bearing their name anywhere in the country, with seven stations including its name.
Central Acton is referred to as the hub of commerce and retail on the former main road between London and Oxford, referred to as the Uxbridge Road. The main road includes a great deal of inns, which go as far back to the late Tudor period as stopping places for travellers. Right now, the A40 dual carriageway is the primary route from London to Oxford, and it bypasses central Acton. It still passes by way of East Acton and North Acton.
Acton boasts the biggest housing estate in West London, named the South Acton estate, with roughly 2,000 homes and 5,800 residents. The region is presently in phase 2 of a major 15-year phased regeneration which consists of virtually full demolition of the existing residential units and the building of brand new and much more residences. This is likely to raise its population further.
