Fulham is a district within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London. It is 3.7 miles south-west from Charing Cross, which makes it an Inner London district. It is on the north bank of the River Thames, in between Hammersmith and Kensington and Chelsea, facing Putney and Barnes. Formerly, it was a parish in the county of Middlesex. It’s identified in the London Plan as among the list of 35 major centres in Greater London. Fulham’s history of industrial enterprise dates back to the 15th century, with its Mill at Millshot on the south side of what is now Fulham Palace Road. There was also a pottery, tapestry-weaving, paper-making and brewing industry during the seventeenth and 18th centuries in the location of what’s now known as Fulham High Street. The following 2 centuries had been recognized for power production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries. For the first half of the twentieth century, Fulham remained mostly working class with pockets of wealth in the North End, along the top of Lillie Road and New King’s Road. Particularly wealthy locations were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park as well as the region around the Hurlingham Club. The location attracted waves of immigration, and rapid changes meant that there was poverty – Charles Dickens and Charles Booth noted this, and there were poorhouses that attracted benefactors. Nowadays, Fulham is rated as one of the most expensive parts of London and also the UK overall. The typical sale price of all property in 2007 was £639,973 – and is most likely to be a great deal more now.
