Description:

Fulham Palace was home to the Bishops of London from AD700 to 1973. The palace itself is an architectural treasure, including elements from the Tudor, Georgian and Victorian periods. It lies in 13 acres of lawn and gardens that still reflect the 18th-century landscape design. There are many interesting and unusual trees and plants. The walled garden contains the remains of an early 19th-century vinery.
