Fulham
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, which makes it an Inner London district. It's 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 reputation of industrial enterprise extends 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 region of what's now referred to as Fulham High Street. The subsequent two centuries had been recognized for energy 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 at the North End, along the top of Lillie Road and New King's Road. Especially rich locations were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park along with the location surrounding the Hurlingham Club. The location 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 among the most expensive 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 substantially more now.
