The history behind Fulham Palace
Jenniflower Says: Fulham Palace seems to have been the home of many Bishops in the past.This was a place where royal banquets and balls were held in the Great Hall.Where Kings and Queens dined.In its hey-day it had a large moat around it... with magnificent gardens... where there were many...
Jenniflower Says: I think what first grabbed my attention when we neared the palace were two things.Firstly, that this was not a castle in the usual sense of the word. ~ This was more understated and more of a dwelling, rather than a fortress with towers and huge defensive walls etc.Secondly,...
Jenniflower Says: As you enter Fulham Palace Gate, this little house is on your left hand side.Thois is often where the caretaker of the time would have stayed.It is gothic in style and we spent a little while looking around it, even though I dont think many peopel do, they just wander on...
Jenniflower Says: The only remnants from the time of Bishop Howley in the cafe area today are the paintings re him, and the fireplace and sofas are remeniscent of it being a drawing room, not just a cafe.High ceilings and wooden oak floors, this is a beautifully lit area with much charm.But...
Drawing Room Cafe: Delightful cafe at Fulham Palace

Jenniflower Says: We are quite spoilt for choice really.. with tubes, trains AND buses taking us places here :)Having commuted for years on the tubes and trains, we then settled for thebus. Yes, it takes twice as long sometimes in bad traffic, but if you leave early enough you miss all the...

Putney Exchange: For everything you might need!
Jenniflower Says: The Putney Exchange is a mall, but is not your typical High Street mall in my opinion.It offers some usual UK brands like Gap, Accessorise, Argos etc... but it also offers some other delightful paper and home shops.It is expensive to shop here... South West LOndon is not a...

Jenniflower Says: We were VERY disappointed when we happened upon this walled garden, and thought we had somewhere magical to explore!Alas, when we eventually found a side entrance to the garden (this main entrance was closed), we saw how overgrown and unkempt it is... very odd to have a...

Juxtaposition between old and new!
