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 is 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 is identified in the London Plan as among 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 is now Fulham Palace Road. There was also a pottery, tapestry-weaving, paper-making and brewing industry during the 17th and eighteenth centuries in the region of what is now called Fulham High Street. The following 2 centuries were recognized for power production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries. For the first half of the 20th century, Fulham remained typically working class with pockets of wealth at the North End, along the top of Lillie Road and New King’s Road. Specifically rich locations were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park plus the area around 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. Today, Fulham is rated as one of the most pricey 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.
