Fulham, a suburb of London, on the left bank of the Thames, about 6 m. S. W. of St. Paul's cathedral; pop. of the parish in 1871, 23,378. The village of Fulham is connected with Putney by a wooden bridge. Though irregularly built, it contains many fine houses and villas. The most celebrated public building is the palace, which has been the summer residence of the bishop of London since the days of Henry VII. The grounds, nearly 40 acres in extent, are surrounded by a moat over which there are two bridges. The palace is remarkable for its size and historical associations rather than for architectural merit. The ancient parish church of All Saints has a fine Gothic tower and monuments of the bishops of London and other notabilities. There are many nurseries and market gardens, noted especially for the cultivation of asparagus, for the London markets. The population of the parish is rapidly increasing.
