Acton Area Guide


Our area guide to Acton gives you a quick overview of the neighbourhood from its properties, public parks, local schools, council tax, public transport links to shopping and going out.

Postcodes covered by this area guide include W3

  • Property Types & Architecture

    A great range of different architectural styles can be found in Acton including Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses and flat conversions, ex-local authority homes and modern developments. North and West Acton are mainly residential areas with leafy streets and a distinctly Tudor feel to some of the timbered houses and flats in the West.

  • Shopping & Entertainment

    The Acton community is diverse and multi-cultural leading to a rich choice of places to eat and things to do. Acton has a mid summer community Carnival with music, dance, arts, food and stalls and the recently refurbished 'Mount' on Acton High Street hosts a Market at the weekends with stalls selling arts, crafts, jewellery, cards and clothes, and farmer's market stalls selling fresh produce. The library, swimming baths, and Town Hall in Acton are all examples of tall Victorian municipal buildings that can be found along the High Street.

  • Parks & Commons

    Two great parks open to the public in Acton include: Gunnersbury Park, the largest in the area and located south of Acton Town tube. This vast space houses a pitch n' putt, a museum, a pond and often plays host to sporting events. Winner of a Green Flag award, Acton Park features bowls facilities, a children’s play area, tennis courts, a basket/football court, a pond and an art block. There is also a cafe next to the bowling green.

  • Who lives here?

    Acton is popular with young professionals looking for great value properties to rent or buy as well as students studying at nearby universities, in particular Imperial College London.
