CFC saw a resurgence of sorts during the swinging 60s as well. In terms of locations within London, it is probably the nicest and the most 'posh' which has meant that it has attracted some high-level celebrity supporters that live in the area. I think that Sean Connery, Steve McQueen supported them in the 60s and Dickie Attenborough was Director for a few decades.
Fulham is located nearby but hasn't had the 'glamour' appeal of CFC. Arsenal, the Yids and especially West Ham were/are too working class and too far out (Central London) to attract celebrity supporters.
