Parks:
- Gunnersbury Park is one of the great parks of London. It surrounds an old dilapidated mansion that functions as a museum. on the park grounds, you can also find old ruins that now surround a community garden. There's a cute pond with a small temple, some sports grounds, such as a small golf course, and a nice café.
Cafés:
- The Blend House is a cute little café with all kinds of bakery, good sandwiches and sweets in glass jars. The coffee is not particularly good here, but the staff is very nice and it's a great place to get a quick snack in a rustic atmosphere.
Drinking:
- George & Dragon is the home to a fantastic microbrewery, Dragonfly Brewery, making tasty IPAs, red ales and stouts. It's located in the oldest building in Acton. It looks fantastic with its wood-panelled dark rooms, fireplace and melted candles on the tables. The bar itself is in the back room, where you can see the vats where the magic happens. There's also a pleasant beer garden.
- The Rocket is an old-school railway tavern with big windows, wooden plank floors and a nice terrace looking at a quiet street. They have a good selection of real ales.
