We Love... Fulham!

Here at Red Residential we have a very long association with Fulham having worked and lived in the area for many years. So perhaps we are biased but we do love this leafy corner of West London, and we are blogging about it now as we have 2 excellent 2 double bedroom flats available in the heart of this smart area:

Bishops Road, Fulham SW6

2x 2 double bed flats £340pw (one with garden)

Fulham is very central and is in walking distance of Chelsea, Earls Court, Hammersmith and Putney and has good transport links with tube stations at Fulham Broadway, Parsons Green, Putney Bridge and West Brompton. There is a very wide range of accommodation in the area from large family houses to a good selection of flats and flat shares, and the prices are significantly lower than neighbouring areas such as Chelsea. 

There is a huge amount to do in Fulham, and here is the official Red Residential Top 5:

1. The Union Market- a farmers market right in the centre of Fulham Broadway! Gorgeous produce at not outrageous prices in the old tube station. There is a nice cafe too which does a good sausage sandwich too!
2. Chelsea Football Club- love them or hate them, no one can deny that having possibly the biggest football club in the world in the centre of the district gives the area a real buzz. If Chelsea win the whole area knows about it!
3. Pubs and Bars- Fulham has a huge number of places to get a drink including some of the best in London: The Harwood Arms- gained a Michelin star in 2010; The White Horse- the "Sloaney Pony" is the legendary hang out of London's original Sloane Rangers; The Rose- down a quiet backstreet and has a nice garden.
4. Parks: Fulham is very green: Parsons Green- very popular spot for summer sunbathing; Eel Brook Common- an oasis moments from Fulham Broadway; Bishops Park- beautiful park on the river with boating pond and it's own palace...; South Park- large park with lots of sporting facilities; Hurlingham Park- athletics, rugby and football venue.
5. Shopping- Fulham has it all! Smart antique shops on the New Kings Road, quirky independent shops on Fulham Road, high street stores in the Fulham Broadway Centre and the famous street market on North End Road.

We will be producing a more in depth guide to the area soon, but in the meantime please feel free to comment and add your own favourite places in Fulham.
