Fulham Palace Gardens

Know London

Today the gardens include woodland, meadow, lawns and an 18th-century walled garden - a secret spot with a knot garden of herbs, a wisteria pergola and orchard.

When visiting the gardens you will come across the Bishops’ Tree.  The Bishops’ Tree was carved by Andrew Frost - an accomplished environmental sculptor based in Derbyshire.

To the rear of the walled garden is the Palace’s meadow.  This large area of former wilderness has been restored by the Palace’s gardeners and volunteers.  The meadow will not only be a riot of colour from spring through summer each year, but it will also be a great improvement to the Palace’s local ecology.

Currently, the gardens also provide the setting for a year-long exhibition of kinetic sculptures by Peter Logan, whose works are grafted onto the stumps of trees lost to the great hurricane of 1988. Six sculptures have been installed in the first phase; others will appear with each new season. Constructed from aluminium and stainless and corten steel, the sculptures are engineered to respond to the gentlest breeze.

The Gardens are open from dawn to dusk daily.
