Security Shutters in Fulham

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 is 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 inside the county of Middlesex. It's identified in the London Plan as among the list of 35 major centres in Greater London.

Fulham's history 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 during the 17th and eighteenth centuries in the location of what is now known as Fulham High Street. The subsequent two hundred years had been recognized for energy production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries.

For the first part of the 20th 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. Especially rich locations were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park along with the area surrounding the Hurlingham Club. The area attracted waves of immigration, and quick changes meant that there was poverty - Charles Dickens and Charles Booth noted this, and there were poorhouses that attracted benefactors.

Now, Fulham is rated as among the most pricey parts of London and the United Kingdom overall. The typical sale price of all property in 2007 was £639,973 - and is most likely to be considerably more now.
