Acton is a place in west London, United Kingdom situated 6.4 miles

Acton, comprising the wards of East Acton, Acton Central, South

Acton and Southfield, had a population of 53,689 people.[1]

North Acton, West Acton, East Acton, South Acton, Acton Green, Acton

Town and Acton Central are all parts of Acton.

Acton means “oak farm” or “farm by oak trees”, and is derived from

the Anglo-Saxon ac (oak) and tun (farm).[2] Originally an ancient

village (mentioned in the Domesday Book), as London expanded, Acton

became absorbed into the city. Nowadays, Acton lies predominantly in

the London Borough of Ealing, although some of East Acton lies

within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, and a small

portion of South Acton within the London Borough of Hounslow. Acton

is home to more railway stations than any other area of London;

seven stations in the locality feature Acton in their name.

Central Acton lies on the former main road between London and Oxford

(the Uxbridge Road) and several inns along it date back several

centuries as stopping places for travellers. Nowadays, the principal

route linking London and Oxford (the A40 dual carriageway) bypasses

central Acton, but passes through North Acton.
