Park View, North Acton
This street has 1930s terrace houses, each block has four houses, between each block is access to a service road and garages behind the houses. The shrubs on the far left are part of a site where houses were demolished to make way for an overpass on Western Avenue. The road project was abandoned. Recently Transport for London tried to turn the vacant land into a bus depot, but thankfully their plans have been rejected.
