The Neighborhood:

Eating: There are lots of restaurants clustered around the Acton High Street and Churchfield Road area. Locals flock to North China for its shin of beef and dumplings, and Ting Tong Thai for some spicy noodles. Towards Ealing is Persian Nights offering live music and belly dancing, or those with a craving for spice could head for Anokha. If a freshly cooked kebab is what you hanker after, then Woody Grill is the place to seek out.



Drinking: The Rocket is a classic British pub that has earned a good reputation for food, with the nearby Station House also popular with locals. The Aeronaut Pub is anything but traditional, with a circus themed garden, its own brewery, swing dance lessons, and aerial acrobatic shows at the weekends. The Belvedere caters for sports fans, and The Dragonfly at the beautifully refurbished George & Dragon pub should hit the spot for beer lovers with its own microbrewery.



Culture: Five minutes away on the Tube in Turnham Green is the Tabard Theatre, which produces theatre of all types, as well as being a regular comedy venue for some of the biggest names on the circuit. Or, if you’re thinking of being more hands on, head over to Questors Theatre, five minutes away in the other direction in Ealing, the biggest amateur theatre company in the country. For movies, head to the nine screen Vue Cinema in Park Royal.



Events: The London Mela takes place in nearby Gunnersbury Park each summer and in 2014 attracted more than 90,000 visitors. This free Asian festival features music, dance, theatre, children’s events and a huge food market. The Acton Carnival takes place in July and celebrates blues and jazz. The London Transport Museum uses its depot in Acton for storage, but guided tours of the historic vehicles are available.



Acton Park offers a playground, ponds, bowling green, tennis courts and a cafe. Gunnersbury Park has two play areas, a cricket square, 20 football pitches and 15 tennis courts. Between East and North Action Tube stations lies Wormwood Scrubs, more famous as the site of a prison perhaps, but home to more than 200 acres of common land, including nature reserves, a sports stadium and a pony centre.



Getting Around:

Rail: Acton Central and South Acton are on the Overground and trains from either will drop you at Highbury & Islington in about half an hour. Acton main line station has trains to Paddington that take just 10 minutes.



Tube: East Acton, North Acton and West Acton stations are all on the Central Line, with journey times to the West End of about 20 minutes and to the City in half an hour. Acton Town is on the District and Piccadilly Lines, serving the City, Holborn and Victoria.
