Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking to do what we do well as well as sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day.
As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers’ to embody our values which are to build relationships, add value, and to take the initiative. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a ' money back guarantee ’.
Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.

History of East Acton
East Acton, being a neighborhood in West London, also has a rich history from medieval times. The earliest mention of East Acton can be found in 1294, which indicates its existence as a rural settlement. "Acton" is also derived from Old English "Aketon," meaning "oak farm," so it signifies the farm-based origin of the area. East Acton appears on John Norden's map of 1610, which indicates its presence on ancient maps. By the 19th century, the area had already begun urbanization, as developing the East Acton Underground station in 1920 was a milestone in its development. Its transformation went on in the early 20th century.
The Acton Golf Club mapped out a course on land that would be future Golf Links land in 1909. This zone, once farmland, was developed as a residential estate during the 1920s with houses for war veterans of World War I. Goldsmiths' Company, which had secured land in East Acton, contributed to the development of the area through promoting suburbanization and building housing for middle-class professionals. East Acton evolves even further today, with new developments determining its nature and population.

Things to do in East Acton
East Acton, a busy London borough in West London, boasts a rich and evolving cultural scene reflecting its multicultural society and creative ambitions. One of the cornerstones of that cultural mosaic is the W3 Gallery, located at 185 High Street. This volunteer-run, not-for-profit gallery is an energetic arts space with exhibitions, performances, and workshops by local artists and bringing the community together through imaginative art. Programming in the gallery encompasses visual art, sound, moving image, and performance, and aims to make art accessible to all and re-establish Acton High Street as a cultural hub. Augmenting the W3 Gallery's work, the Acton and Park Royal Creative Enterprise Zone, launched in 2022, builds a thriving creative community for artists, designers, filmmakers, and musicians. The venture accommodates over 15 artists' studios, film and recording spaces, and practice rooms, where they have affordable creative environments and possibilities for collaboration. The zone also boasts activities such as open studios, pop-up stores, and exhibitions, contributing to the cultural richness of the area and offering platforms for emerging talent.
In addition to these established areas, East Acton has community-driven projects like Acton Connect, a free and open series of activities including arts and crafts, yoga, and gardening. These initiatives serve the goal of reducing social isolation and fostering a sense of community through providing accessible spaces for residents to join in activities of recreation and creativity.
Together, these cultural pursuits exhibit East Acton's commitment to creativity development, diversity promotion, and creating a community sense of belonging to all people through the arts.
