Crabtree Estate
A collection of roads in the North West of Fulham close to the river and not far from Hammersmith. Property is much more affordable here than elsewhere in Fulham and is a good compromise if you need more space.
The neighbourhood
In the northwest corner of Fulham close to the enormous Charring Cross Hospital, this area once belonged to Fulham's last farmer, Edward Matyear, who owned Crabtree Farm. His land stretched from Crabtree Lane in the South to Colwith Road in the North, and the area is named after the crab apple trees that grew there. Upon his death in 1910 he left the land to the King Edward VII Hospital Fund, who then sold it to local developers Allen & Norris. They built the estate that stands to this day, although back then you could pick up a house for the princely sum of £285 each.
The area
The close proximity of Hammersmith underground station (District Line, Piccadilly Line and Hammersmith & City Line, Zone 2), the Thames path and a Michelin star restaurant, The River Cafe (where Jamie Oliver began his career) make this a popular area.

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.
