Located between Chelsea, Putney, and Hammersmith on the north bank of the River Thames, Fulham has a population of approximately 90,000 and is known for its elegant Victorian and Edwardian architecture, riverside walks, and excellent schools.
Fulham is home to some of London's finest period architecture. The area features magnificent Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, many with white stucco and red brick facades, bay windows, ornate cornicing, and generous gardens. Notable streets include the iconic Fulham Road (with its world-famous shopping, restaurants, and the historic Fulham Broadway), the elegant Bishop's Avenue, Munster Road, Lillie Road, and the charming streets of Parsons Green and Eel Brook Common. The Hurlingham Club (a private members' club with stunning grounds) and the Fulham Palace (a Grade I-listed former residence of the Bishops of London, set in beautiful gardens) are major local landmarks. There are also attractive Queen Anne and Georgian townhouses around Bishops Park, substantial Edwardian mansion blocks along the river, and a growing number of contemporary apartment buildings in the Fulham Riverside and King's Road developments. The Fulham Reach development has introduced luxury riverside apartments with concierge services and gyms.
