West and Upper Norwood and Tulse Hill were middle to upper-middle-class neighborhoods in London in 1888. These areas were known for their large, elegant Victorian houses and green spaces. One of the historical places of interest in the area was the Crystal Palace, a grand exhibition hall built in 1851 that was moved to Sydenham Hill in 1854 and became a popular destination for visitors.

West and Upper Norwood was a desirable residential area with many large houses and mansions, some of which were owned by wealthy merchants and businesspeople. The Norwood Cemetery, which opened in 1837, was also located in the area and was the final resting place of many notable figures, including members of the British royal family.

Tulse Hill was also a prosperous neighborhood with many large houses and villas. The Tulse Hill Estate, built in the 1820s, was a notable feature of the area and included a large park and a mansion that served as a community center.

Overall, these neighborhoods were home to a wealthy and prosperous middle to upper-middle-class population who enjoyed the amenities of the area, including the large houses, green spaces, and cultural attractions like the Crystal Palace.
