Bishop’s Park, located in Fulham on the northern banks of the River Thames is a public garden in close vicinity to Putney Bridge. The park used to form part of the estate of Fulham Palace but the local authority bought it in order to provide a green space close to the river for locals to enjoy.
The park is a welcome restbite from the expensive towering apartment buildings and offices along the river banks, where you can escape the fast pace of city living. Bishop’s Park attracts large crowds of picnickers in the summer months and is a popular jaunt for dog walkers, joggers and cyclists.
Work is currently underway to refurbish the paddling pools and essential maintenance work is taking place in the children’s play area. The park contains a boating lake and café, where you can relax and watch the world go by or many people like to play sports such as rugby or footbal in the park.
Special Features
The park features an ornamental pond which has been specially designed to attract widlife

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
