Walking through Time in Fulham – 1300 Years of London History (4K)
London walking tour through the fantastic history of the ancient manor of Fulham and Fulham Palace. Support this channel on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/JohnRogers
Our walk starts Fulham Broadway and the old Walham Green Station. We then cross Eel Brook Common to New Kings Road and Parson’s Green. After a quick browse in the brilliant Hurlingham Books we look inside All Saints Church Fulham before entering Bishop’s Park. The park was noted for it’s fabulous plants and trees as far back as the 16th century and today is still one of London’s finest parks. The mile-long moat was said to have been built by Danes in the 9th century to protect their camp from flooding. The land has been in the possession of the Bishops of London since 691 and was their country home from 704 to 1972 and incredible 1300 years. The current Fulham Palace boasts a magnificent Tudor courtyard and a beautiful walled garden.
From the palace we stroll and the Thames riverside walk to Craven Cottage home to Fulham FC.

Is it just a coincidence that I'm being made to visually visit Craven Cottage twice today? This one being much more entertaining and rewarding by the way.
An interesting walk around SW6
“There was a rush along the Fulham Road, there was a hush in the Passion Play”
Loved the walk. Fallen leaves are due to trees being in distress because of lack of water, so they shed them for survival.
Terrific ramble content as always. Admittedly I'm biased, but in Fulham Palace there's a Van Dyck, a Holbein and several other top notch daubs you didn't bother to mention. Imho you should have.
Hi John. Another glorious and interesting post.. (.the temple bar by putney bridge) was previously the best local snooker hall ) many a game I lost in there. Keep up the great work. Care to you and your family.
The walham green only just opened last month haha
Thank you for another wonderful video. That toasted sarnie looked really nice! 😄
Fulham palace sounds amazing definitely need to visit ❤
All the stops on this lovely walk are quite familiar to me. Indeed Fulham Palace is a gr8 place to visit, and the walk by the river from Putney is sublime, on a Summer's evening. Since Fulham is not a million miles from Chiswick, there's one major London brewery that might benefit from one particular shot at the derivation of the name, and, if you've been working, maybe writing all night and are promised a siesta by your close ones, and providing you're NOT driving, you could do worse than a couple of delicious pints of ESB to help you into the arms of Morpheus..
Nice one John! ✨🌟👍
I love the idea of a tour of the former capitals of England. Winchester is one of the few spots in England I've been lucky enough to visit, so it would be great to hear your impressions of the place. Thanks.
Good to see Wetherspoons have opened in the long closed TGIF's.
Hi John. Great video, very interesting. Strangely my cousin and l walked from Chiswick to Putney Bridge along the Thames path last Tuesday. We stopped at Craven Cottage for refreshments before walking on to visit Fulham Palace. Thanks.😊
Thank you for these lovely videos!!
Loved it John, you suit the glasses by the way😊 I never needed mine till I was about 30 ish, that was 37 yrs ago 😅
Built on Anne boleyns hunting grounds john but now full o happy clappers 😂
Good day to release the video, Fulham drew against those Mancs' a great result for the cottagergers 🎉
Thanks John.
I'll follow in your footsteps and visit Fulham Palace.
It's nearer than Hampton Court and free 😊
Disappointed there was no Baby Eating Bishop of Bath N Wells room if im honest 😂
Johnny Haynes was a legendary player for Fulham but he was an historic player in the evolution of football . He was the first player to earn 100 pounds a week ( less than 3,k a week now ).. The great Jimmy Hill was involved , as a players rep , in the abolition of the maximum wage .
A 1966 England world cup winner , George Cohen spent his whole career at Fulham .✌️
I've never been in that walled garden. What a treasure.
Are you seriously going to walk the whole length of the New River?
You'll have to get up early. Good luck.
I'm rubbing my hands together in anticipation.
Thanks John.
I love your historic walks – there is so much to learn about London.
What a wonderful walk. Very informative, and scenic. You also had lovely weather, which helps on a walk like this. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
I never knew . . . I will definitely visit Fulham Palace next time I am in London. Thank you John.
Thanks John for another great video. It's an area of London I have only visited a couple of times and I'd never heard of the Bishop of London's palace. Definitely well worth checking out when I'm down there in the future.
6 ad breaks, 16 minutes in.
John, that's a fascinating video. I have some connections with the area through the rowing, football etc. but most of this was an eye opener. I didn't know there was so much of the palace still there.
Incidentally the Stevenage Road stand at Craven Cottage is one of the few listed stands in football. Designed by Archibald Leitch, who is worth looking up.
Incidentally jago Hazard released a video about Walham Green/Fulham Broadway today as well.
Curiously enough, ticked Fulham Palace off the list only a few weeks ago. Good little museum too.
I wish I was there…
Only time l was in Fulham was I the 80s when l went to the Lost theatre.
I must remember
To visit Fulham Palace
West London and South West London are as chalk and cheese as southeast London and east London .. Being from West London, it's something that irks us when they call Chelsea or Fulham West London..
