Why Earl’s Court is a Great Place
Earl’s Court is a lively area in Greater London, popular for its nearby restaurants, cafes, bars, and historic sites. But what makes Earl’s Court special is its long history.
Earl’s Court is a district located within Greater London. It was once a rural area prior to the Norman Conquest and had been under different rules – from Thegn Edwin to Geoffrey de Montbray.
Originally a rural area before the Norman Conquest, Earl’s Court has seen many changes over the centuries. The name “Earl’s Court” comes from the Earls of Warwick, who owned the land for a long time. Their influence shaped the area, but their control ended in 1721 with the death of the 7th Earl of Warwick.
In the 19th century, a project was developed by Lord Kensington, which included the conversion of the Counter’s Creek into the Kensington Canal. From that development, Earl’s Court had become densely populated with over 1,200 houses and two churches built, and by the end of the century, the first hospital was opened.
In contemporary history, Earl’s Court became home to famous institutions – the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art founded in 1861, and London Electronics College founded in 1892. It was responsible for the expansion of the use of Morse Code and the Poetry Society founded in 1909. All of these are now gone, but their influence will be forever etched in Earl’s Court.
During World Wars 1 and 2, Earl’s Court was dubbed the Polish Corridor because of a number of Polish officers who opened small businesses in the place. Earl’s Court was also known as Bedsitter Land because of the hotels and hostels on its rendered terraces.
Additionally, if you’re planning to visit the famous Royal Albert Hall, Park City Grand Plaza Kensington is also a perfect choice. It’s not only a hotel near Earl’s Court, but also a hotel near Royal Albert Hall, making it easy to enjoy both landmarks.
