About SW6
Area of southwest London located 3.7 miles south west of Charing Cross on the left bank of the Thames, between Putney and Chelsea. The area is identified in the London Plan as one of 35 major centres in Greater London. Today it is a green London area within very close reach of many places and this is reflected in the high local house prices.
The area, like other comparable areas of London, is home to a number of pubs and gastropubs. The White Horse in Parsons Green is colloquially known by many as “The Sloaney Pony”, a reference to the “Sloane Rangers” who frequent it. Other popular pubs include The Durrell in Fulham Road, The Mitre on Bishops Road, the Duke on the Green and Aragon House both by Parsons Green.
The Harwood Arms, behind Fulham Broadway, is the only pub in London to receive a Michelin Star, this fresh entry to the Michelin Guide looks to take diners to a “rural haven in the middle of Fulham”.
Fulham Broadway has undergone considerable pedestrianisation and is home to a number of cafes, bars and salons. The largest supermarket in Fulham, Waitrose, is located by Fulham Broadway.
Fulham has an abundance of parks and open spaces of which Bishop’s Park, Fulham Palace Gardens, Hurlingham Park, South Park, Eel Brook Common and Parsons Green are the largest. Most of the residential roads in Fulham are tree lined, often by houses painted in different pastel shades.
