Acton is a town and area in west London, within the borough of Ealing. Acton is a hub of commerce and retail, but a largely residential area. British supermarket chain Waitrose started out life in Acton, as a grocers owned by partners Waite, Rose, and Taylor. If you want value for money, combined with convenient transport links, our estate agents recommend Acton.
Acton is the only place in London to have stations named after all four of cardinal points, East, North, South and West Acton. These stations are served by the Central Line. There is also Acton Central station, served by the London Overground, and Acton Town Underground station, served by the District and Piccadilly lines.
By road, the A40 runs through Acton, connecting to Notting Hill and Paddington in the West, and leading to the M40 and M25 Eastwards.
Acton is close to an amount of green space; nearby Gunnersbury Park is lovely, and it houses a museum which was once the residence of the Rothschild family. If you want something a bit closer, head to Acton Park and follow it with a trip to Acton Market, where you can buy fresh bread, local art and fresh fruit and bread.
