Full description

Fulham Palace served as the country residence of the Bishops of London for over a thousand years until the mid-20th century, its Tudor courtyard and later Georgian additions now open as a small museum alongside a walled botanic garden that reviewers with a 4.6 rating consistently call a peaceful surprise for anyone not expecting it. Set within Bishops Park on the Thames, it draws a mostly local crowd making the most of a quiet green corner of west London rather than tourists working through a checklist.

Its free-to-moderate pricing and 60-minute duration make it an easy, relaxed outing well suited to a slow afternoon walk.
