Fulham is a district within 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, 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 one of the 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’s now Fulham Palace Road. There was also a pottery, tapestry-weaving, paper-making and brewing industry during the seventeenth and 18th centuries in the area of what is now referred to as Fulham High Street. The next two hundred years were known for power production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries. For the first part 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 areas were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park along with the region surrounding the Hurlingham Club. The area 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. Currently, Fulham is rated as among the most highly-priced parts of London and also the United Kingdom overall. The average sale price of all property in 2007 was £639,973 – and is likely to be a lot more now.
