Palace & Hurlingham
Hammersmith and Fulham, London
PocketsFulham Palace & Hurlingham Park (Bishop's Park · Hurlingham Park · Hurlingham Road)Fulham Reach (Fulham Palace Road · south)South Park (Broomhouse Lane · Wandsworth Bridge Road)
Palace and Hurlingham sits in the south-west corner of Fulham against the Thames, a ward anchored by Fulham Palace, Bishop's Park and the Hurlingham Club. The whole ward is inside a conservation area, giving it a consistent stucco-and-garden-square character. Heritage is a real draw: thirty listed buildings including the Grade I Fulham Palace, the Grade II* Hurlingham House and the Grade II* Parish Church of All Saints. Bishop's Park runs to 13.7 hectares along the river and total green space approaches thirty-six. Seventeen Outstanding-rated schools sit within reach, and safety scores well. The drawbacks are connectivity and market: public-transport access is moderate at best, with Putney Bridge the nearest Tube and bus links south to Putney, and market affordability is weak for this corner of west London. Air quality is also only moderate close to the New King's Road.
