Perfume Factory

The Perfume Factory is built on the site of the former Elizabeth Arden factory, which is fast changing to reflect the area’s redevelopment. A community is already building in the immediate location, supporting a Tesco Metro and Sainsbury’s Local, as well as the Fu Lai Chinese Supermarket. With such excellent transport links, it really does feel like so many of the capital’s iconic experiences are practically on your doorstep. When Old Oak Common station (which will be the largest in the UK) is completed, just a 15-minute walk away, the rest of the country will become one step closer too.

This transport super-hub will connect high-speed rail services to the Midland, the North and Scotland, complementing the excellent links to Central London and Heathrow on the Elizabeth Line. Connectivity also brings a wide variety of outdoor activities into everyday play, across numerous, highly accessible green spaces.

Key Highlights

North Acton

North Acton’s rich industrial past had a creative side. Just two stops on the Central Line from White City and the former BBC Television Centre, North Acton was home for many years to the BBC Television Rehearsal Rooms.

Although closed in 2009, this creative heritage has carried over to the approach to the £26 billion Old Oak and Park Royal development, within which The Perfume Factory sits.

This is a hugely ambitious project to rejuvenate the areas surrounding Acton, consisting of new amenities, shops, parks and public spaces and enough industry to cater for 65,000 new jobs.

Set to rival Canary Wharf, this redevelopment will be home to the only station where the Elizabeth Line and the HS2 intersect, making North Acton one of the best-connected locations in all of England.

Easy Reach

With excellent connections to the capital and the west through North Acton Underground Station and Acton Main Line Crossrail Station, so many iconic London experiences are well within reach.
