The constituency of Ealing Central and Acton currently consists of 8 wards including Ealing Broadway, Ealing Common, East Acton, Hanger Hill, North Acton, South Acton, Southfield and Walpole.

The seat is fairly modern having been created in 2010 from the former seats of Ealing, Acton and Shepherds Bush along with parts of Ealing North and Ealing Southall. There has therefore only been 2 members of Parliament in its history, 1 Conservative and 1 Labour. 

Angie Bray won the newly created seat for the Conservatives in 2010 and held the seat until the following General Election in 2015 when Rupa Huq won the seat for Labour where she remains the incumbent.

Currently the Ealing Central and Acton Conservatives hold 7 of the 28 council seats within the constituency including all the seats in Hanger Hill and Ealing Broadway, along with 1 seat in Ealing Common. The Liberal Democrats hold 4 council seats in the constituency with Labour holding the rest.
