North Acton

About

North Acton ward sits in the northwest corner of the Ealing borough, bordered by the North Circular Road and Park Royal. The area is characterised by a significant concentration of modern residential tower blocks, interspersed with older terraced housing and industrial estates. Its landscape is heavily shaped by major transport links, including the North Acton London Underground station serving the Central line. Large-scale redevelopment projects continue to alter the built environment, adding new housing and commercial spaces to the existing mix.

The ward is notably defined by the substantial presence of the Park Royal business park, one of the largest of its kind in Europe, which influences the local economy. Open green space is provided by the expansive Twyford Abbey grounds and the playing fields of the former Cardinal Wiseman School. The Grand Union Canal forms part of the eastern boundary, offering a linear walking route. This creates a distinct contrast between dense urban development, active industrial zones, and quieter recreational corridors.
