It is home to Earls Court Exhibition Centre, one of the country’s largest indoor arenas and a popular concert venue. Allen and Young Removals carry out all moving services including removals, man and van, storage, packing and house clearance in the Earls Court area.

Earls Court, originally spelled Earl’s Court, was once a rural area, covered with green fields and market gardens. The Saxon thegn Edwin had been the owner before the Norman Conquest. For over 500 years the land, part of the ancient manor of Kensington, was under the lordship of the Vere family, Earls of Oxford and descendants of Aubrey de Vere I, who held the manor of Geoffrey de Montbray, bishop of Coutances, in Domesday Book in 1086. By 1095, his tenure had been converted and he held Kensington directly for the crown. The earls held their manorial court where Old Manor Yard is now, just by the London Underground station. Earl’s Court Farm is visible on Greenwood’s map of London dated 1827.
Following World War II, a large transient population of Australians and New Zealanders stayed in Earls Court, leading to Earl’s Court Road being known for several decades as “Kangaroo Alley” or “Kangaroo Court”. It was at the time one of the cheapest areas close to central London, and up until the 1990s remained a somewhat down-at-heel district compared to its more up market neighbours. Today, while there are still significant numbers of students or other people on temporary visas, many of the Australians and New Zealanders appear to have moved on to now-cheaper areas further North and West. The change in the area’s population is largely owed to rocketing property prices and the continued gentrification of the area. This can be seen in the obvious divide between the eastern and western areas of Earls Court. Read more…
