“A big WELCOME and enjoy”

The word Fulham originates from Old English, with Fulla being a personal name, and hamm being land hemmed in by water or marsh, or a river-meadow. So Fulla’s hemmed-in land. It is spelled Fuleham in the 1066 Domesday Book. Parsons Green is a mainly residential district in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

The Green itself, which is roughly triangular, is bounded on two of its three sides by the New King’s Road section of the King’s Road, A308 road and Parsons Green Lane. The wider neighbourhood is bounded by the Harwood and Wandsworth Bridge Roads, A217 road to the East and Munster Road to the West, while the Fulham Road, A3219 road may be said to define its northern boundary. Its southern boundary is less clearly defined as it merges quickly and imperceptibly with the Peterborough estate and Hurlingham.
