Gypsy Corner

Gypsy Corner is a junction of the A40 road with Horn Lane in Acton in West London. The name originates from the Irish Travellers, known as gypsies, who would travel along this main road, in and out of London, and camp at this spot. An official caravan site is still maintained by the local council nearby, by North Acton station.[1]
