Earl’s Court history

Early history

Earl’s Court was once a rural area, covered in orchards, green fields and market gardens. The Saxon Thegn Edwin held the lordship of the area prior to the Norman conquest. For over 500 years the land, part of the ancient manor of Kensington, was under the de Vere family, the Earls of Oxford.

19th-century

The original catalyst for development was the ill-fated vanity project by Lord Kensington. The congestion apparent in London and Middlesex for burials at the start of the century was causing public concern not least on health grounds. In 1837 a decision was made to lay out a new burial ground on the edge of Earl’s Court in an outlying area of Brompton. It was consecrated by Charles James Blomfield, Bishop of London, in June 1840.

20th century

For most of the century, Earl’s Court was home to three notable institutions, all now gone. The first and indeed oldest school of its kind is the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art founded in 1861. The next foundation dated 1892 was the London Electronics College (formerly the London School of Telegraphy) The Poetry Society, founded in 1909, decamped to new premises in the recently refurbished Covent Garden district of Central London.
