More of a walk from my place than the other recommendations but this is well worth it for a Sunday lunch. Very family and dog friendly, lots of board games and great food.

Sightseeing
Not enough people seem to know about this place - it's the largest Hindu temple outside of India and is beautiful to look at outside and in. Free to look around, there is also a museum inside.

Parks & Nature
Kew Gardens is stunning and just two stops away on the overground from South Acton. I go there at least once a month and have done for the last ten years. There's always something new to find or a different exhibition they put on. Highlights are the Hive (use the wooden sticks to hear through vibrations), the treetop walkway and, for children, the badger sett. If you're staying here in November to January then Christmas at Kew is a stunning display of lights, music and a Christmas funfair.

Three stops away on the overground from South Acton, Richmond is a huge and beautiful park. You'll forget you're still in London. Great for walking, jogging, cycling or deer spotting!

Gunnersbury Park is near the end of a huge overhaul. They've renovated all the old buildings and turned one of them into a museum. Nice cafe, two large ponds, wooded areas and a walled garden. There are also huge sports fields and a sports centre being built. Great for walks, dog walking, cycling or sports.
