Fulham is an area of west London in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, (the successor to the Metropolitan Borough of Fulham) located south west of Charing Cross.
Fulham was formerly the seat of the diocese of "Fulham and Gibraltar", and Fulham Palace the former official home of the Bishop of London, (now a museum), the grounds of which are now divided between public allotments and an elegant botanical garden.
Having been through many transformations in its history, today it is a green London suburb within close reach of areas such as Chelsea and Kensington and this is reflected in the local house prices.
