English: Franklin Square, W14 Although technically a square, only these 2 sides shown are covered with housing. The central communal area is rather than a garden a surface level car park with some trees. This speaks volumes about local planning and developers' priorities but also reflects a continued need or economic quasi-necessity in the area for cars or vans. Alternatively an underground car park could be built in the manner of Finsbury Square, which requires investment and an appreciation of the aesthetic and anti-pollution qualities of an urban garden. The W14 end of the borough, an broad area of dry, gravelly land has since 1945 housed workers on lower incomes than the southern end in and at the start of a long bend in the Thames (central Hammersmith and all of Fulham).
