Fulham Palace, the historic Bishop's residence set in grounds along the Thames near Putney Bridge, gives its name to a quietly pleasant pocket of Fulham where the eating is unpretentious and affordable. Neighbourhood cafes, Italian spots, and breakfast places define the offer here - this is somewhere you come for a relaxed brunch or an easy weekday lunch rather than a destination dinner. The grounds of the palace itself are a lovely backdrop, and the area has a calm, residential quality that makes it feel genuinely local.
