Things to do in Earls Court
Earls Court is a district in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London. It is home to the Earls Court Exhibition Centre, one of the country’s largest indoor arenas and a popular concert venue.
Brompton Cemetery is located in Earls Court. Established by Act of Parliament, it opened in 1840 and was originally known as the West of London and Westminster Cemetery. While the cemetery is still open for occasional new burials, today more people use it as a public park than as a place for mourning the dead. Diana, Princess of Wales (1961–1997), the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales, lived at 60 Coleherne Court, Old Brompton Road, from 1979 – 1981. The 3-bedroom flat was bought for her by her parents for £50,000 as an 18th birthday present. Diana, who shared the space with three room-mates who paid her £18 per week rent, once said it was where she spent the happiest time of her life. Diana lived there until February 1981 when she moved into Clarence House, the Queen Mother’s residence, on the night before her engagement to Prince Charles was officially announced. In the 1990s, Diana regularly returned to the area to work out at Earls Court Gym (now part of the Soho Gyms chain) next to Earls Court underground station.
Freddie Mercury (1946-91), flamboyant lead singer with the world-renowned rock group Queen, lived, and died, at a house at 1 Logan Place, just off the Earls Court Road
