History

The Grade II listing was made on 17 May 1994 under the entry name ACTON TOWN LONDON REGIONAL TRANSPORT UNDERGROUND STATION, INCLUDING SHOPPING PARADE. Wikidata item Q344481 carries the same list entry number and records Charles Holden as architect and the London Borough of Ealing as the administrative area. Six further Underground stations in the borough are listed Grade II: Park Royal, NHLE 1079328; Northfields, NHLE 1263487; Ealing Common, NHLE 1249986; North Ealing, NHLE 1390751; West Acton, NHLE 1400997; and Perivale, NHLE 1400747. They are not one architect's work: Ealing Common and Northfields belong to the Holden programme, Park Royal is by Welch and Lander, and West Acton and Perivale are later.
