Time Out says

What is it?

Don’t be misled by the name: Fulham Palace isn’t full of kings and queens. This Tudor-era episcopal retreat was the home of the Bishops of London, with Georgian and Victorian additions layered over the centuries. 

Why go?

Fulham Palace offers a peaceful escape from the city with history, architecture, and riverside charm all in one. Explore nearly 500 years of changing lifestyles and architecture, from the Tudor hall to the Victorian chapel. The riverside gardens are an inner-city oasis: you can even meet the team from London Falconry to find out about  the origins of falconry and how it relates to the history of the palace.

Don’t miss:

The onsite Café might not have the tradition of the palace. But the cakes are too good to miss.

When to visit:

Open daily, with varying seasonal hours – check the website before you go.

Ticket info:

Entry to the palace and grounds is free.

Time Out tip:

Want to feel like royalty? Go on a weekday to enjoy the palace and gardens in relative quiet!

Fulham Palace Christmas Fair

Step into the historical world of Fulham Palace for its fifth annual Christmas fair for a taste of Crimbos past. There’ll be a grotto tombola, tuck shop full of festive treats, carols in the courtyard and a host of activities to take part in. The main attraction, though, is still the market itself, which celebrates small businesses and local traders. Shop til you drop as you peruse the handicrafts and fine foods up for grabs, then retire to the drawing room café for a well-earned glass of mulled wine.
