Ascott Avenue was built during the 1890s.
After the railway was built, London Transport noticed that whereas South Ealing station was extremely close to Northfields station, that there was a big gap between South Ealing and Acton Town. A plan was developed to close South Ealing and build a new station at the site of the bridge at Ascott Avenue. However, there were so many objections to the closure that the idea was abandoned.
