Earls Court was for a long time a rural area at the out-skirts of London. This was, however, changed in the 19th century. In 1865-1869 the Metropolitan District Railway station was built, making it a prime location for housing development. In just 25 years the area was completely transformed, some 1200 houses built in the area - and two churches.
