| abstract | - The first station was built by the Metropolitan Electric Supply Company Limited (METESCo) and commissioned in 1899. It was taken over by the London Power Company Limited in 1924. It was one of four stations (the others being Bow, Deptford East and Grove Road, Saint John's Wood) which continued following the formation of the London and Home Counties Joint Electricity Authority in 1925, which resulted in closure of many smaller stations in central London. The later Acton Lane 'B' station had three concrete cooling towers and dominated the eastern end of North Acton trading estate at Park Royal. Work on this began in 1950, initially for 56 MW. Coal was supplied by rail to sidings from the Midland railway to the north. Other power stations nearby included Neasden and Taylors Lane. The station closed on October 31, 1983 with a generating capacity of 150 MW. It has since been demolished. A large substation remains on the north bank of the canal.
