Old Oak Common

Old Oak Common is a semi-industrial area of London, between Harlesden and Acton. The area is traditionally known for its railway depots, particularly Old Oak Common TMD which has recently been decommissioned. Together with neighbouring Park Royal, the area is intended to become the UK's largest regeneration scheme.
