Fulham is a district in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London. It is 3.7 miles south-west from Charing Cross, rendering it an Inner London district. It is on the north bank of the River Thames, between Hammersmith and Kensington and Chelsea, facing Putney and Barnes. Formerly, it was a parish inside the county of Middlesex. It is identified in the London Plan as among the 35 major centres in Greater London. Fulham’s history of industrial enterprise extends 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 in the 17th and 18th centuries in the location of what is now called Fulham High Street. The following two hundred years had been known for power production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries. For the first part of the twentieth century, Fulham remained primarily working class with pockets of wealth in the North End, along the top of Lillie Road and New King’s Road. Particularly wealthy areas were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park along with the location 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. Now, Fulham is rated as among the most pricey parts of London and the United Kingdom overall. The typical sale price of all property in 2007 was £639,973 – and is most likely to be considerably more now.
