Earls Court, SW5

Earls Court, SW5Earls Court is a place in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London, England. It is an inner-city district located 3.1 miles (5 km) west south-west of Charing Cross. It is home to Earls Court Exhibition Centre, one of the country's largest indoor arenas and a popular concert venue. The name is believed to come from a farm, Earl's Court Farm, visible on Greenwood's map of London dated 1827. The earl in question may have been either the Earl of Warwick or the Earl of Holland, both cited as lords of the manor of this part of London. Note the inconsistency of spelling between Earls Court and Earl's Court tube station.

Traditionally (post-1945) a large transient population of Australians and New Zealanders stayed in Earls Court, one of the cheapest areas close to central London. Today, there are still large numbers of students or other people on temporary visas, although many of the Australians and New Zealanders appear to have moved to cheaper areas further North and West. Earls Court is still known to tourists and visitors to London for its numerous cheap hotels. However, it is a place of contrasts: houses in multiple occupation offering very cheap rents are just a few blocks from The Boltons, where real estate sells for the highest rate per square metre of almost anywhere in Europe. It is also known, amongst ex-pat Australians, as Kangaroo Court.

Within walking distance of Kensington Gardens, High Street Kensington, Holland Park, Royal Albert Hall, Imperial College, National History, Science and Victoria and Albert Museums, Earl's Court provides a relatively cheaper alternative in central London for housing, hotels and tourism.
