Are you wondering what Acton is like to live in ? Well Acton is huge. In fact it’s so huge that it has 7 stations, 4 of which are on the tube and the other 3 are rail stations. This is a significant reason as to why commuters flock here. Acton also has a 9-screen multiplex cinema, a diverse collection of restaurants and the mammoth Gunnersbury Park which contains just about every sporting facility you could imagine.
Another bonus is that it’s generally more affordable than neighboring Ealing and Chiswick, so people from these areas have now found themselves drawn to Acton instead.
