==Leisure== [[File:Acton Farmers Market.JPG|thumb|right|Pilot of Acton Farmers' Market, December 2006]] The Mount on Acton High Street hosts a market on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Visitors can shop at stalls selling a range of produce. Acton's library, swimming baths (built in 1904) and [[Acton Town Hall|Town Hall]] are examples of tall Victorian municipal buildings that can be found along the High Street. The Swimming Baths closed in December 2011 for a three-year development project, replacing the existing pools with a 25m 8-lane pool and a smaller teaching pool. The site reopened in April 2014.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Leary |first1=Gemma |title=Everyone Active Acton Centre |url=http://www.ealing.gov.uk/info/200940/sports_centres/1091/everyone_active_acton_centre |website=www.ealing.gov.uk |access-date=2 December 2024 |language=en}}</ref> An indoor climbing wall opened on the high street, housed in a building constructed in the 1920s as an Art Deco cinema.
