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.
