What locals say about W3

  1. I love Acton because it has a very friendly mixed community. The new leisure centre and swimming pool is great. A New John Lloyd gym and tennis club has just opened. There are great parks - Gunnesbury park is fabulous and Acton Park has tennis courts and a great children's play area. Transport links are excellent. The overground from Acton Central links up with the District, Jubilee and Bakerloo underground stations. Trains from Acton Central go from Richmond to Stratford through North London. Acton Main line station trains go from Heathrow to Paddington and will soon have the addition of the new Elizabeth line. Also there are 3 central line stations (East, West and North Acton), and Acton Town has the Piccadilly line station for direct trains to Heathrow airport. Churchfield Road has many cafes and restaurants. Indian, Greek, Japanese etc. There is a new Italian cafe and deli. There is also a new Italian restaurant on Acton high street which is good. The George and Dragon Pub is a bit of a hipster pub which brews its own beer and has live music. Acton is a stones throw again from Chiswick where there are many excellent restaurants. It is also 6 minutes by car to White City Westfield Shopping centre, with a newly opened John Lewis Department Store.

  2. I love Acton because of its diverse communities and down-to-earth, vibrant atmosphere.

  3. Acton is a friendly neighbourhood with a great family feel. Plenty of shops and exercise facilities to suit everyone!

  4. There is a great sense of community here with every amenity you could hope for. It is under rated and developing in a great way, with transport and small boutiques as opposed to big chain stores. It's close to some of London's great parks and has a roster of wonderful gesture pubs within easy distance. Great neighbourhood feel.

  5. This is a leafy, area with fantastically big Edwardian houses, each with a slight difference to the neighbouring house. The houses have amazing architectural features both internally and externally. There is a really good community feel to the area. The transport links are really good, with a choose of Central, district and Piccadilly, I should never be late for work...but of course I am! love it! The area that is! Very happy to have stumbled across it.

  6. Green and very quiet residential streets, the area is favoured by artists and media, so I love most of my neighbours! The family size 3-4 bedroom properties are much bigger than in Chiswick and much more appealing in their Georgian style with warm yellow brickwork.
