Fulham
Fulham is a district inside the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London. It is 3.7 miles south-west from Charing Cross, making 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 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 during the 17th and eighteenth centuries in the location of what is now known as Fulham High Street. The following two centuries had been known for energy production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries.
For the first part of the 20th 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. Especially wealthy regions were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park and the location surrounding the Hurlingham Club. The area 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.
Currently, Fulham is rated among the most highly-priced parts of London and the United Kingdom overall. The average sale price of all property in 2007 was £639,973 - and is most likely to be a great deal more now.
