Fulham

Fulham is a district in west London, England, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It lies along the north bank of the River Thames, opposite Chelsea, and includes areas around Fulham Road, Parsons Green, Sands End, and Fulham High Street. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces, period flats, and newer developments along the river.

Historically part of the parish of Fulham in the county of Middlesex, the area developed from manors and parish lands. Fulham Palace, a former residence of the Bishops of London, dates back to medieval times and is now a public historic site near Bishop’s Park.

Landmarks and notable sites include Craven Cottage, the riverside stadium of Fulham F.C., which has stood on the Thames bank since 1896; the Hurlingham Club, an international sporting and social club; and Bishops Park, a large public park with views over the river.

Transport and access: Fulham is served by several stations on the District line, including Fulham Broadway and Parsons Green, with Putney Bridge station nearby. Imperial Wharf provides London Overground access on the West London Line. A dense bus network and cycling routes connect Fulham with central London and neighboring districts.

Fulham F.C. has long been a prominent feature of the area’s sporting culture, attracting fans from across London. The district is also known for its riverside walks, shops along the Fulham Road, and a range of restaurants and pubs. Demographically diverse, Fulham has seen development and rising property values while retaining much of its historic character.
