Acton is a common name meaning 'farmstead or village by the oaktrees' and is mentioned in Domesday. It lies about six miles west of central London on the old Uxbridge Road which was the main highway to Oxford. It is a district of West London to the north of Hammersmith and was once a small village before expanding considerably in the second half of the 19th century and being absorbed by the city of London. Acton is now principally residential though there is some light industry and Acton Town underground station is on the District and Piccadilly lines. The High Street has a good range of shops, inns and restaurants.
