Acton Town Underground Station, Greater London, 25 September 2021. The original station by John Fowler was opened in July 1879 by the Metropolitan District Railway as Mill Hill Park and renamed Acton Town in 1910 when the station was rebuilt. In 1931-32 the station was rebuilt a second time by the Underground Railways of London to include Piccadilly Railway services which started in July 1932. The station was designed by the UERL’s consultant architect, Charles Holden, in European Moderne style. The building is proportioned as a ‘double cube’ and is similar to his station at Oakwood, itself a refinement on his earlier station at Sudbury Town. It is a Grade II listed building. Pictured is the station building and integral parade of shops. Note pole-mounted Underground sign on entrance canopy.
