Fulham Palace

Fulham Palace in London, England, was until the eighteenth century the residence of the Bishop of London. It is accessed from Fulham Palace Road close to the northern end of Putney Bridge. Part of the Palace grounds were converted in allotments during World War II and they have remained in use since then allowing local people to grow their own vegetables, fruit and flowers. The grounds are open to the public daily.
