Love London: Fulham in a day

Love London: Fulham

Whether you're feeling sporty, cultural, creative, or just plain hungry, here's how to spend (at least) a day in Fulham.

9am

Feeling energetic? Kick off the day in Bishops Park with a fast-paced tennis match or compete in one of the weekly organised 5km runs on a Saturday.

11am

Culture vultures should explore the grounds and building of Fulham Palace, which dates back to 700AD. Don't miss the ancient evergreen oak, thought to be at least 450 years old. Within the Palace, there's the Drawing Room Café – great for hot chocolate and a slice (or two) of homemade cake.

Visiting on a Sunday? Don’t leave Bishops Park without a visit to the Farmers Market to test your willpower against the delicious local food on offer.

12:30pm

Lunchtime. Try a Kangaroo Steak Sandwich at Barossa, a coffee house and (you guessed it) Australian kitchen on New King's Road. Or pop across the road to Hally's, the Californian-inspired hangout and sample their fresh and seasonal menu (crispy avocado fries anyone?). Give Arthur, the resident Irish terrier, a scratch behind the ears before you leave.

2pm

Head down to Hurlingham Park, home to polo and rugby and escape the regular bustle of the city. Football fan? Take a wander past Craven Cottage or Stamford Bridge to catch a glimpse of the Fulham and Chelsea football clubs without the crowds.

4pm

Time to get creative. Make something spectacular at the Emma Bridgewater Pottery Café, where you can paint to your heart’s content accompanied by a cup of coffee and slice of carrot cake. Choose from a wide range of pottery, from a functional teapot to an egg cup that’ll awe the soldiers on a Sunday morning.

6pm

Visit the legendary Vagabond, the independent wine shop on Vanston Place, where you can sample over 100 different wines on tap (not all in one sitting, obviously), accompanied by cheese or charcuterie boards, and come away with a bottle or two of something you really love. If an espresso martini’s more your thing (and by now you might need that caffeine), head to Amuse Bouche to spark up the taste buds.

8pm

Pay The Tommy Tucker a visit for traditional British pub food with a thoroughly modern twist, cooked up by critically acclaimed Head Chef Claude Compton. Smoked beef short-rib? Don’t mind if we do.

10pm

Finish off the night in a triangle of excellent pubs surrounding Parsons Green. Aragon House, Duke on the Green, and The White Horse (aka the Sloaney Pony) are well known for pulling in a wide selection of punters to round off the day.
