A hugely popular afternoon out for weekending West London families. The Fulham Palace is a remarkable place. The estate was owned by the Bishops of London for over 1300 years and the Palace was their country home from at least the 11th century. Vacated by the Bishops in 1975, the Palace is now managed jointly by Hammersmith and Fulham Council and the Fulham Palace Trust.  

Today the Palace’s stately rooms house an intriguing museum that interprets the site’s extraordinary history; a relaxing café-bar within a graceful drawing room which overlooks the extensive botanic gardens; and an elegant gallery space that provides an innovative programme of contemporary, Palace-inspired art. 

Outside you'll find an 18th-century walled garden, and a fascinating botanical collection. Tours of the palace and grounds are run by the museum as is a full programme of events and lectures. Changing exhibitions of modern works from sculpture to music take place at the gallery. Modern renovations have restored the bishops' drawing room as a rather grand cafe and restaurant with French doors leading to the gardens. Outdoor summer barbeques help to make this a real gem.

The Palace is also an outstanding venue for weddings, receptions, corporate hospitality and functions. An exciting programme of events for all ages, tastes and purses runs throughout the year by the Palace’s dedicated staff. The Palace's upper floors contain high-specification offices.
