Sightseeing

It's a great way to spend a late afternoon Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are amazing in the sunset. A real moment to treasure. Best to book in advance and bear in mind that you will need to queue for around 30 minutes. So get there early.

Parks & Nature

It's just over a mile away and a nice way to relax for a few hours. Set by the side of the river Thames towards Putney Bridge, it has beautiful botanical and walled gardens. Fulham Palace which was the former home of the Bishops of London and sometimes runs historical tours, is another of its features. There is also a quaint Drawing room cafe and a farmers market some Sundays.

Essentials

Amenities include local supermarkets, a post office, pharmacy, dry cleaners, laundry, several coffee shops, a florist and take away food stops. For a much cheaper option North End Road market, provides an array of fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables. It can get quite crowded but it is only a 10 minutes walk in the opposite direction and offers an authentic slice of city-living.
