[8] Most of the housing of Acton Green is to the northwest of the common; to its east is the Bedford Park area, developed speculatively as a place for artists at the same time as St Michael's and The Tabard.

Facing the west of the common are the mansion flats of the locally listed four-storey red brick Fairlawn Court, built around 1900.

Just to its north are the loft apartments of Chiswick Green Studios, a "modish conversion"[1] of a group of industrial buildings.

[13] Nearby, facing the north of the common is the 1898 Duke of Sussex public house; it replaced an earlier beerhouse founded by 1842.

[14] The current "elaborately decorated"[1] building was designed by the pub architects Shoebridge & Rising, and is Grade II listed.

The main front faces east on to Beaconsfield Road, with three bays, two of them with dormers, separated by a small half-round Diocletian window, and the third an extension to house the kitchens and staircase.

On the corner of Evershed Walk and Acton Lane is The Swan, opened in 1871 by the Phoenix Brewery of Latimer Road in what had been a beerhouse owned by James Brown.

[18] The London Buses route 94 to Piccadilly Circus terminates at the northwestern corner of Acton Green common.
