According to research, 47% of London is green space. According to one researcher we have over 8 million trees in the capital and Kensington is lucky enough to be positioned between Kensington Gardens to the east, which covers an area of 265 acres, and Holland Park to the west. Kensington Gardens was once the private gardens of Kensington Palace, and this part of the borough has been home to the Monarchy since 1689.

A little bit of history
Today Fulham may be one of the most expensive and desired places to make a home in London, but it was not always the case. During the 18th Century Fulham was known for debauchery and was where wealthy Londoners came seeking gambling and prostitution. Fulham remained a working class area for some time, undergoing regeneration between World War II and 1980s to become the well-to-do area it is today.
Need to know
A loaded die is sometimes known as a 'Fulham' possibly because of the areas once corrupt reputations.
