Bishop’s Park & Alphabets
So named because they flow in alphabetical order from South to North – starting, strangely, with ‘B’ for Bishops Park Road – the popularity of these streets running between Fulham Palace Road and Stevenage Road almost exactly mirrors this order, with Cloncurry, Doneraile and Ellerby streets at the forefront.
The neighbourhood
Gardens here are generally much larger than the Fulham average, and the houses are big too (over 4000 sq ft in some cases), making this area extremely popular with families. Prices have rocketed in recent years, especially on the southern streets, but you still get more for your money than in Parsons Green.
The area
The proximity of Bishops Park, Fulham Palace, the River and Putney Bridge tube go some way to offsetting the slightly out-of-the-way feel, but then many who buy here do so for that very reason. There’s a more laid back feeling in the air, and parking is easier than more central areas of Fulham.

Transport
Parsons Green District line tube station provides quick links to the rest of London and there are numerous bus routes running along New Kings Road and Fulham Road.
Leisure
The green is a great spot for a stroll or picnic in the sun, as is Eelbrook Common. The river and the Thames Path is not far away and if you’re into rock climbing, there’s a fantastic bouldering wall in the small business park near the tube station.
Schools
Lady Margaret girl’s school is a highly regarded school right on the green and the London Oratory boy’s school is also nearby. There are various independent schools nearby including Kensington Prep school.
Local amenities
A good mix of cafes, basrs and restaurants can be found on Parsons Green Lane and New Kings Road including the popular Bayley & Sage delicatessen and the famous (or infamous) White Horse pub at the northern end of the green. Brik’s home is also also here, right next to the White Horse pub.
