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’s on the north bank of the River Thames, between Hammersmith and Kensington and Chelsea, facing Putney and Barnes. Formerly, it was a parish in the county of Middlesex. It is identified in the London Plan as among the list of 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 seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the region of what’s now known as Fulham High Street. The subsequent two hundred years had been identified for energy production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries. For the first part of the twentieth century, Fulham remained mainly working class with pockets of wealth in the North End, along the top of Lillie Road and New King’s Road. Particularly rich locations were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park along with the area surrounding the Hurlingham Club. The region attracted waves of immigration, and swift changes meant that there was poverty – Charles Dickens and Charles Booth noted this, and there were poorhouses that attracted benefactors. Currently, Fulham is rated among the most costly parts of London and the UK overall. The typical sale price of all property in 2007 was £639,973 – and is likely to be a lot more now.
