The area has undergone significant development over the years, with new housing estates and commercial buildings being built to accommodate the growing population.

One of the most notable landmarks in Acton is the Acton Town Hall, which was built in 1910 and is now a Grade II listed building. The town hall is a beautiful example of Edwardian architecture and is home to the Ealing Council.
