Learn more about hotels in Acton

Acton, located in the London Borough of Ealing, boasts a rich history that dates back to its origins as an ancient village with its name derived from "oak farm" or "farm by oak trees". As the city of London expanded, Acton became a part of the metropolis, transforming from a summer retreat for courtiers and lawyers in the 17th century, to an industrial centre in the 20th century. Today, Acton is a primarily residential area, with remnants of its light industry still present in the Park Royal and Chiswick areas.

The town is divided into several parts, including North Acton, West Acton, East Acton, South Acton, Acton Green, Acton Town, Acton Vale, and Acton Central. The South Acton estate is home to one of the largest housing estates in west London, while the historic Polish and more recent Antipodean communities enrich the cultural landscape. Acton boasts an extensive educational network with six state-funded primary schools, three state-funded secondary high schools, and a staggering seven railway stations for seamless connectivity within the UK.

When to visit Acton

The ideal time to visit Acton is between May and October, when visitors can enjoy longer daylight hours and pleasant temperatures. Summer (late May to early September) is peak season, offering the best weather and most activities. However, the shoulder season (May, June, September) offers a respite from the peak tourist crowds while still providing comfortable weather and lower prices. Winter months bring colder temperatures and shorter daylight hours but also present the opportunity for cheaper airfare and hotel rates.

While Acton is generally safe for visitors, it's always prudent to exercise caution and check for travel advisories prior to planning your journey. Immerse yourself in Acton's captivating history, culture, and charm by booking your hotel with Lycafly today.
