Comparing Fulham with other metropolitan boroughs we
find that the proportion of one and two-roomed tenements is
higher than in Fulham in all the boroughs with the exception
of Wandsworth, Lewisham, Hampstead, Greenwich and
Woolwich, while Fulham has a higher proportion of three and
four-roomed tenements than any metropolitan borough.
The following table gives the proportion of tenements of
less than 5 rooms in the County of London, Fulham, and the
adjoining Boroughs:—
