Acton is a suburban town and a group of neighbourhoods in Middlesex. Its name is derived from the Old English Actun ("Oak village")
The village of Acton vanished in the nineteenth century, swamped and replaced by suburban growth. Acton remains an urban place. Its town centre is along the High Street. It has spawned its own contiguous suburbs too, including North Acton, South Acton, East Acton, West Acton and Acton Green.
