South Acton
Ealing, London
South Acton sits between Acton Town and Chiswick in the south-east of Ealing, a ward whose character swings between its late-Victorian terraces and the recent regeneration of the South Acton estate. The thirteen listed buildings include the Grade II* Elms on Chiswick High Road and the Grade II Gala Bingo Club, a 1937 super-cinema by Frank Bromige with a space-saving stairway in the foyer that helped earn its listing. Twenty per cent of the ward sits inside a conservation area. Transport is good, with Acton Town on the District and Piccadilly lines and Overground at South Acton. Twenty-eight Ofsted outstanding rated schools are within reach, and the food and retail offer runs to over two hundred venues along Chiswick High Road. The downsides are uneven. Crime scores are pulled down by drift from the busier parts of Acton and Ealing, market pricing sits well below the borough average in the former estate streets, and green space is limited to small recreation grounds.
