Once London's market garden, Fulham is a ripe residential plum.
Living in Fulham
The majority of Fulham's houses were built between the 1880s and the start of the First World War in 1914, and almost all still stand today.
For green space, Fulham has the delightful Bishop's Park to the south-west, Hurlingham Park to the south, and Walham Green between Parsons Green and Fulham Broadway.
North of Bishop's Park, the terraced houses and gardens are larger than the average in Fulham and many have converted lofts.
Beyond Craven Cottage, Fulham Football Club's home ground, and towards Charing Cross Hospital, the Edwardian terraced houses are complemented by pockets of new housing and business developments.
East of Putney Bridge tube station, which is elevated above the river's northern bank, is a select area called Hurlingham.
The roads around Napier Avenue and Edenhurst Avenue are close to the exclusive Hurlingham Club and are a mix of modern developments and super-large semi-detached houses with as many as six bedrooms.
Rivermead Court borders the beautiful grounds of the Hurlingham Club and is a private estate of mansion flats that were built by the river in the 1920s.
Another prime area is picturesque Parsons Green which has its own tube station, pubs, restaurants, shops and art galleries.
Fulham Broadway has a modernised tube station on the District Line and a multi-screen cinema and shopping complex above. A few metres east is Stamford Bridge, Chelsea Football Club's home ground.
North of Fulham Broadway is North End Road which is renowned for its many shops, cafes and fresh food street market.
Transport
Fulham is on the Wimbledon branch of the District Line and has three stations: Fulham Broadway, Parsons Green and Putney Bridge.
North of Fulham is Hammersmith Broadway tube station, which is on the Ealing Broadway and Richmond branches of the District Line. Hammersmith is also the terminus for the Hammersmith & City line, and is served by the Piccadilly line en route to Heathrow and back to Cockfosters via London's West End.

History and culture
The University Boat Race, contested annually between Oxford and Cambridge, has used Putney Bridge as its starting point since 1845.
The two rowing-eights travel north up the Thames with Fulham on their right until they reach Hammersmith Bridge, where the river loops round to their left and the boats head south for Barnes Bridge.
