Fulham Property

Buying advice for property searching in Fulham, London

As an area, Fulham has been lucky to have some smart neighbours. Being on the north side of the river and next to Chelsea, it has been the natural home for those who would have liked to live in Chelsea but cannot afford to do so.

There have always been those who live in Fulham by choice because of the larger houses and particularly for the Hurlingham Club which forms a huge area of green running down to the river. Membership is difficult but it is unusual in London in being a country club within striking distance of the smartest addresses.

There are two sides to Fulham. The largest houses and the greenest parks lie to the south of the New Kings Road on the Peterborough Estate. These are good-sized family houses clearly built for the well-to-do middle classes. The area to the north of Parsons Green and off the Fulham Road was built for a more working-class clientele, although this changed radically during the 1980s when the professional classes took it over, introducing delicatessens and wine bars.

The transport situation is not the best. The Wandsworth Bridge Road, the New King's Road and the Fulham Road are all arterial roads taking traffic from south of the river into central London and are nose-to-tail in the morning and evening. The underground is the District line at Parsons Green or Fulham Broadway which go through Earls Court – adequate but not ideal.
