Don't be misled by the name: Fulham Palace isn't full of kings and queens. Instead, it's the episcopal retreat of the Bishops of London, built in Tudor times, with later significant Georgian and Victorian additions. This grand house gives a fascinating insight into the changing lifestyles and architecture of nearly 500 years, from the Tudor hall to the Victorian chapel; try out the echo in the courtyard. The grounds offer some lovely spots to take a picnic, or indulge in a classy cake from the café. There's also access to a glorious stretch of riverside walks. Best of all, the delights of Fulham Palace still seem largely uncovered by the majority of Londoners.
