[8] Fulwell has migrated south, and/or reduced in size, as maps from the late nineteenth century showed it spanning onto the north bank of the Crane, which lies in Whitton.

It formed the southern extent of Hounslow Heath and the near-surface raised Taplow gravel that defined it.

[9] The area was progressively enclosed for agriculture and was increasingly urbanised, beginning in the Victorian period of metropolitan expansion of outer London.

[13][14] In 1871 Charles James Freake, a London property developer, bought Fulwell Lodge, its grounds and estate worker's cottages.

It extended to Apex Corner where the A312 Uxbridge Road now meets the A316, and was bounded to the South-East by the Shepperton Branch Line.

In 1910, the exiled last King of Portugal, Manoel/Manuel II, bought Fulwell Lodge as his English home, owning it until his death in 1932.

[16] Apart from train services at Fulwell railway station, Transport for London has bus routes 33, 267, 281, 290, 481, 490, H22, and R70 serving the area.
