Impressive Edwardian houses, magnificent mansion flats and mature tree-lined streets Hurlingham is something special.
Living in Hurlingham
East of the elevated tube station at Putney Bridge lies Hurlingham, one of Fulham's most exceptional enclaves.
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 Edwardian houses with as many as six bedrooms.
Rivermead Court on Ranelagh Gardens borders the beautiful grounds of the Hurlingham Club and is a private estate of impressive mansion flats that were built by the river in the 1920s.
Hurlingham Court is also on Ranelagh Gardens and is a more recent development of flats that enjoy amazing views over the River Thames.
On the north side of Ranelagh Gardens is Hurlingham Gardens, which links Edenhurst Avenue to Napier Avenue. Bounded by two blocks of modern flats, the private garden in the middle is idyllic and for the sole use of the residents.
Hurlingham is blessed with many mature trees and little traffic, except on Sundays when there can be a stream of cars entering the Hurlingham Club.
Founded in 1869 and set in 42 glorious acres by the river, the Hurlingham Club has a beautiful Georgian clubhouse which has been tastefully extended in recent years.
For those lucky enough to be members of Hurlingham, the club offers many social activities. In particular it is renowned for its sporting facilities, which include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis, croquet, cricket, bowls, golf, squash and a fitness centre.
Hurlingham, whether or not you're a member of the club, is a delight.
Transport
Putney Bridge tube station is elevated above a Transport for London bus depot and is on the Wimbledon branch of the District Line, between Parsons Green and East Putney.
There is also an excellent local bus service south over Putney Bridge, north up Fulham Palace Road, and north-east along New King's Road and Fulham Road.

History and culture
An Odeon cinema is a short stroll south over Putney Bridge and Putney High Street is the closest serious shopping district to Hurlingham.
The University Boat Race, contested annually between Oxford and Cambridge, has used Putney Bridge as its starting point since 1845.
North of Putney Bridge and due west of Hurlingham is the Bishop's Palace, home to the bishops of London from the 11th century until 1973.
The present palace was built in the early 16th century and is now a museum and garden centre. To the north of the palace is Bishop's Park, a delightful public space covering 27 acres, with a superb riverside walk.
