Fulham
Fulham is a district in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London. It is 3.7 miles south-west from Charing Cross, rendering 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 within the county of Middlesex. It's identified in the London Plan as among the list of 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 is now Fulham Palace Road. There was also a pottery, tapestry-weaving, paper-making and brewing industry in the 17th and 18th centuries in the location of what's now called Fulham High Street. The next 2 centuries had been identified 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 in the North End, along the top of Lillie Road and New King's Road. Especially rich regions were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park along with the location surrounding the Hurlingham Club. The area 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 expensive parts of London and the United Kingdom overall. The typical sale price of all property in 2007 was £639,973 - and is likely to be much more now.
