Museum of Fulham Palace

Explore the museum and historic rooms of Fulham Palace, the former home of the Bishops of London in west London, next to Putney Bridge.

Discover the real stories behind the history through interactive displays that bring to life the sights, sounds and people that once occupied the building and gardens. Free family trails take visitors through the museum and historic rooms and outside.

Meet the Bishops and learn about their lives and about the part played by religion in their day-to-day business.

Step outside and stroll around the charming botanic garden which features a walled garden, knot garden, kitchen garden, apple orchard and a 500-year-old oak tree. There’s also a natural play area for younger visitors to enjoy.

Stop for a coffee in the drawing-room cafe, which also serves homemade treats and hot and cold drinks.

Just next door is Bishop’s Park, built on land that once belonged to Fulham Palace. Walk along the river path and take in the beautiful views over the Thames. There are places to sit, play areas, gardens and a cafe.
