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, 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 dates 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 in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the location of what is now generally known as Fulham High Street. The next two hundred years were recognized for power production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries.

For the first part 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. Specifically wealthy regions were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park along with the area around the Hurlingham Club. The region 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.

Right now, Fulham is rated as one of 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 likely to be a great deal more now.
