The nearest NCP car park is at Station Road House. There are many other car parks about the district, but due to the highly residential character of the area, many streets have no parking restrictions at all. Off street parking at hotels in Acton is common, which is great if you’re planning on driving to your hotel.

Black cabs are always in evidence throughout the area and may be hailed on the street. However, there are a plentiful number of cab companies in the district including West Acton Radio Cars near West Acton Tube Station and Acton Cars on the High Street which is close to Acton Town Tube Station.

Acton itself spans a large area, which means that you will find it quite hard to walk to other districts without taking advantage of public transport. However if you are determined to explore on foot you should start out at Acton Town Tube Station. From here you could get to Loftus Road, the football stadium of Queen Park Rangers, in around 45 minutes. It will only take you around 50 minutes to get to the huge Westfield London or the famous Shepherds bush Empire in Shepherds Bush. Even if you fancy exploring Holland Park, a favourite amongst Londoners, this will only take you just over an hour to get to!
