About

South Acton sits in the London Borough of Ealing, directly south of Acton town centre. The area is largely residential and is served by South Acton station on the London Overground, providing connections across west and north London. Local shopping parades, primary schools and community centres serve nearby streets, and small pockets of green space and play areas are scattered through the neighbourhood. The road pattern and short walking routes mean much of daily life concentrates on a few lanes and parade fronts rather than a single high street.

The South Acton Estate occupies a large part of the area and was long known as one of the largest council housing estates in Britain. Over recent decades it has been the focus of phased regeneration, replacing some post-war tower and slab blocks with mixed-tenure housing and new streets while retaining established community facilities. Community-led projects, neighbourhood hubs and a mix of local shops help anchor the estate, and the combination of older housing stock and newer blocks shapes how people use local services and open spaces.
