Arthur H. Beavan continued his survey of London's attractions, in Imperial London, published in 1901, with this look at Earl's Court:

At Earl's Court, in the large area enclosed within a network of railway lines, there is always an exhibition of one kind or another; each one living its brief summer life in a series of ugly iron-roofed buildings with innumerable side-shows, its existence ending with the arrival of autumn and winter.

Even the Great Wheel, though come a longer time to stay, sleeps annually from November to May.
