Nestled in West London, Acton is rapidly emerging as one of the capital's most sought-after neighbourhoods, offering a perfect blend of city living and nature nearby. At the heart of this vibrant community lies The Verdean, our new collection of homes that encapsulates everything that makes this borough special. Let's explore what makes this area a standout choice for Londoners.

Benefit from great connectivity into Central London

Acton's connectivity is one of its strongest selling points. Multiple train stations serve the area to offer quick and convenient access to central London and beyond. Acton Central, part of the London Overground network, provides easy links to Richmond and Stratford. Acton Main Line, soon to be part of the Elizabeth Line (Crossrail), will offer rapid connections to Heathrow Airport and Canary Wharf. North Acton station, on the Central Line, puts the West End within easy reach.

Commuting from Acton is a breeze for those working in the city centre. You can reach Oxford Circus in just 20 minutes, or be at Liverpool Street in under half an hour. This excellent transport network means that residents of The Verdean can enjoy all the benefits of a quieter, greener neighbourhood without sacrificing easy access to London's exciting entertainment and job opportunities.

Enjoy the many green spaces and parks in Acton

Acton stands out as one of London's greenest boroughs. It becomes immediately apparent as you stroll through its tree-lined streets and many parks, including the large green spaces of Acton Park, Gunnersbury Park, and Ravenscourt Park. This commitment to green spaces provides residents with many opportunities for outdoor activities, relaxation, and connection with nature.

The Verdean itself was designed to offer its community dedicated gardens. The world-renowned Kew Royal Botanic Gardens has even lent its expertise to landscape the green spaces of the development. This collaboration brings beautiful floral arrangements right to your doorstep, creating a serene and stunning environment for residents to enjoy. Imagine coming home after a busy day in the city to your own slice of Kew-inspired scenery.

Find your new dream home with Shared Ownership in Acton

In London, known for its high property prices, The Verdean offers a refreshing alternative. This development makes it possible for more people to step onto the property ladder in this desirable area thanks to Shared Ownership. This innovative approach to homeownership allows buyers to purchase a share of a property and pay rent on the remainder, with the option to increase their share over time.

It opens up the possibility of owning a high-quality home in a prime London location to a broader range of buyers, from young professionals to growing families. This project also demonstrates a commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive community, where people from all walks of life can put down roots and thrive.

The homes range from 1 to 2-bedrooms and all benefit from private outdoor space, either a balcony or a garden. The development provides residents with premium amenities including a screening room, dedicated concierge, a Peloton-equipped gym and a cycle hub.

Become part of a vibrant community

In a city where it's easy to feel anonymous, Acton and specifically The Verdean foster connections between neighbours and create a real sense of belonging. Regular meetups and a resident steering group give people a voice in shaping the future of their community. This approach ensures that The Verdean evolves in line with the needs and desires of its residents, creating a truly participatory living environment.

The on-site community centre serves as a hub for various activities and services. From charity workshops to food banks, this space plays a crucial role in supporting residents and fostering a spirit of mutual aid. A particularly exciting initiative is the community cookbook project, which invites residents to share recipes for their national dishes. This celebration of culinary diversity not only results in a unique cookbook but also helps to blend cultures and create connections between neighbours from different backgrounds.

This emphasis on community engagement contributes to a sense of safety and familiarity. When you know your neighbours and feel invested in your local area, it transforms your place of residence into a true home.

Look to the future with the Acton Regeneration project

Acton, and North Acton in particular, is currently the site of one of London's largest and most ambitious regeneration projects. This major initiative promises to bring new amenities, improved infrastructure, and increased job opportunities to the area. For residents of The Verdean, this means living in a neighbourhood on the up, with the potential for significant appreciation in property values over the coming years.

The regeneration plans include new public spaces, improved transport links, and a range of new retail and leisure facilities. This forward-thinking approach to urban development ensures that Acton will continue to evolve and improve, offering an improved quality of life for its residents.

Discover the best restaurants and shops in Acton

While The Verdean offers plenty of amenities within the development itself, the surrounding area of Acton is rich with local businesses and experiences to explore. The recently opened By Max is a perfect example of the high-quality offerings in the area. This Italian deli and coffee shop, located on-site at The Verdean, serves as both a casual eatery and an events space. Regular wine tasting events provide residents with the opportunity to expand their palates and socialise with neighbours in a sophisticated setting.

A short distance away, Churchfield Road stands as a testament to Acton's charm and vibrancy. This beautiful street is lined with independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, offering a diverse range of products and cuisines. It's the perfect place for a weekend stroll, combining window shopping with stops for coffee or lunch.

For burger enthusiasts, a visit to No Drama is a must. This local restaurant has gained fame not just for its delicious offerings, but also for a celebrity endorsement. None other than singer Ed Sheeran has declared their burgers to be the best he's ever had.

The Verdean in Acton represents a unique opportunity to be part of a thriving, green community with excellent connections to central London. This development offers a lifestyle that combines the best of urban living with a neighbourly, village-like atmosphere.
