Fulham is a district inside the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London. It’s 3.7 miles south-west from Charing Cross, making 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 had been a parish in 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 goes back to the 15th century, with its Mill at Millshot on the south side of what’s now Fulham Palace Road. There was also a pottery, tapestry-weaving, paper-making and brewing industry in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the area of what’s now known as Fulham High Street. The subsequent two hundred years were known for energy production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries. For the first half of the twentieth century, Fulham remained mainly working class with pockets of wealth at the North End, along the top of Lillie Road and New King’s Road. Specifically wealthy areas were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park plus the area surrounding the Hurlingham Club. The region attracted waves of immigration, and fast changes meant that there was poverty – Charles Dickens and Charles Booth noted this, and there were poorhouses that attracted benefactors. Today, Fulham is rated as among the most pricey parts of London and the UK overall. The average sale price of all property in 2007 was £639,973 – and is most likely to be a great deal more now.
