'A settlement among the oaks' is the meaning of the Anglo-Saxon word 'actun'. These days, The Oaks is a shopping centre in Acton High Street. Acton covers a vast area and although it is split into north, south, east, west and central, almost all of Acton is within postal district W3, in the London Borough of Ealing. North Acton is the least residential area of Acton and property is mostly developments of flats built in the late 20th century. East Acton is very different, with houses dating from the 1920s, served by shops in Old Oak Common Lane and the London Underground station in East Acton. South Acton, partly in W4, is a mixture of local authority housing and beautiful Victorian and Edwardian properties. Acton Town, to the west of South Acton, has a few residential roads with large detached houses close to the magnificent Gunnersbury Park. West Acton, south of the A40, has many properties built in the 1920s including the Hanger Hill Garden Estate, a conservation area consisting of blocks of flats and large Tudor-style houses. South of West Acton is Acton Central and off Horn Lane and Uxbridge Road are some lovely, secluded and winding streets. Further east, around the London Underground station in Acton Central, is Poets' Corner, where the 19th century housing is particularly tasteful and gentrified.
