Marsh & Parsons can be traced back to the first office opening in a prestigious area, close to Kensington Palace, in 1856. From these singular beginnings, when London was home to three million people, the business has grown, developed and matured along with its home city.
In the mid-Victorian period when Marsh & Parsons was founded, Kensington was beginning to shape itself as a significant centre of Victorian commerce. In 1856 William T Marsh set up the original firm and traded as William Marsh from an office at 197 Kensington High Street. In 1906 Frederick Parsons joined as a partner, prompting the rename to Ernest Marsh & Parsons. Frederick Parsons was the driving force of the firm for 24 years.
Mr Parsons was passionate about his local community, serving as a Councillor, Chairman of the Kensington Church Street Guild and a founder member of the Kensington Rotary Club. Undoubtedly, Frederick Parsons’ involvement in the local community helped consolidate the standing of the firm. This ethos of being an active part of the local community, positively contributing to the area, remains at the heart of the business to this day.
From that initial location in Kensington, Marsh & Parsons has grown in a considered, organic fashion, ensuring new openings were in addresses that suited the brand and its clientele. Over the course of the next 160 years the business added Chelsea, Bayswater, Holland Park, Brook Green and Notting Hill among other areas. Since the turn of the century, faster growth has included Marylebone, Fulham, Battersea, Clapham, Chiswick, Barnes and South Kensington.
