The meeting place in Fulham Fields – The history of Munster Road

My latest blog for Homes & Property looks at the area of Munster Road in Fulham. Tucked away between rows of Victorian and Edwardian houses, the northern section of Munster Road has become known as Munster Village and is a popular address for many.

The area was originally known as ‘Mustew’ and slowly became ‘Munster’ meaning ‘meeting place’. Up until the 19th century the entire area was covered in market gardens and fields, except for the occasional farm building and the largest house was Munster House, home to the Powell family from the 16th century.

Building development began to spread across Fulham fields after the Metropolitan District railway came to Fulham and Parsons Green in 1880. Within a few years large sections of fields and gardens had been built over.
