Today we take a look at Tide Construction brand new construction project at Castle, (formerly Castle Hotel), 140 Victoria Road, North Acton,W3 6UL.

Information pasted from the internet -
Ealing Council’s planning committee has given the go ahead for the demolition of the Castle Pub in North Acton to allow 462 new co-living apartments to be built on the site at the junction of Wales Farm Road and Victoria Road.
The pub, which was once visited by Lady Gaga, has been closed for several years and developers have been attempting to build on the site since 2016 and finally approval was given by the committee on Wednesday evening (21 September) with 9 councillors in favour, two against (including Lib Dem Jon Ball) and one abstention.
Once the Castle is demolished it will be replaced by a building consisting of two parts which are 32 and 27 storeys high. The structure will be 105 metres at its highest point which compares to the 185 metre tower already built nearby at Portal Way and one 203 metres high which has been approved by Ealing Council but has yet to start construction.
Apartments in the building could be repurposed to house students although it is not clear who are the intended occupants. Co-living apartments tend to be smaller but have communal areas.
The proposed building would reach a maximum of 105 metres in height which would be less that the larger towers on Portal Way, one of which has been approved for a height on 203 metres with a 185 metre tower already built.
A new pub is to be built at the base of the tower to cater to the many students living in the area as well as other residents. It will echo the Arts & Craft style of the old Castle pub and make references to the BBC rehearsal rooms which used to provide some of the clientele.
