Since 704 Fulham Palace has been the historic house and garden of the Bishop of London. Our vision is to engage people and provide an insight, through the stories of the Bishops of London, into over 1300 years of English history, and to become one of Great Britain's most loved and inspiring historic houses and gardens. Our collection is comprised of archaeological evidence, in the form of coins and pottery, which shows that Romans settled on this spot along the Thames riverbank, grand portraits of past residents and monarchs as well as everyday objects which provide clues as to how people in the past lived, worked and played at the Palace. Once enclosed by the longest moat in England, 13 acres remain of the original 36. The surviving garden layout is mainly 19th century with an earlier Walled Garden and some 18th century landscaping. We have a museum, special exhibitions, education centre, Tudor courtyard, Victorian Chapel, botanical gardens and cafe on site, all of which are completely free for all to visit.
