Acton is centered around the main high street with St Mary's church marking the heart of the old village, a pedestrianized King street and Oaks the shopping centre.
While lacking the cachet of its neighbours - Shepherd's Bush and Chiswick, it has good schools, great transport links to the centre of London and an eclectic mix of residents from the old locals to more transient Australians.
