The Palace & Hurlingham (electoral ward) sits in the south‑west of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, hugging the north bank of the River Thames. It covers riverside neighbourhoods around Fulham and includes green lungs such as Bishops Park and the historic grounds of Fulham Palace, while the private leisure and sporting complex of the Hurlingham Club is a notable local landmark.
Created through recent boundary changes, the ward mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces, riverside redevelopment around Imperial Wharf and pockets of social housing, giving a broadly affluent but socially varied character. Its long history as an episcopal estate and a centre for polo and croquet helps define the area’s identity, and good links via Putney Bridge, Imperial Wharf station and frequent buses mean it balances quiet riverside living with easy access to central London and a lively local scene of pubs, independent shops and cultural activity centred on the palace and parks.
