A canopy is similar to an awning, but is typically bigger and freestanding. This makes them more versatile than awnings, as you can move them around to suit your needs. However, they’re not always as structurally robust as most awnings.
Fulham
Fulham is a district within 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, in between Hammersmith and Kensington and Chelsea, facing Putney and Barnes. Formerly, it had been a parish in the county of Middlesex. It is identified in the London Plan as one of the 35 major centres in Greater London.
Fulham's reputation of industrial enterprise goes 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 seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the area of what is now generally known as Fulham High Street. The subsequent 2 centuries had been recognized for energy production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries.
For the first half of the twentieth century, Fulham remained largely working class with pockets of wealth at the North End, along the top of Lillie Road and New King's Road. Specifically wealthy regions were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park as well as the region around 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 as among the most highly-priced 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 a great deal more now.
