Bishops Park Park in London

Reviews

   Children & dog friendly park next to river Thames.6/25 Still as enjoyable as ever to walk through park with dog. Especially the river side walk.8/25. No change since last visit and enjoyed cup of coffee at cafe. It's nice now being able to walk from Putney bridge to Hammersmith bridge and beyond without having to go around Fulham Football club, or go into any of the surrounding side streets.

   Bishop’s Park is a charming riverside green space that runs from Putney Bridge to Fulham Football Club, offering long, leafy walks along the Thames with views across to the Putney foreshore and rowing clubs. Opened in 1893 and Grade II listed, it blends Victorian heritage with everyday community life, sitting beside Fulham Palace and All Saints Church for added historic character. What stands out is the variety packed into a relatively slim stretch: tennis courts, bowling greens, basketball and table tennis, plus a skate area and spacious playgrounds for different ages. Families especially gravitate to the large sandpit, seasonal water play/paddling area, and the “urban beach,” which makes sunny days feel like a mini holiday by the river. Sundays bring a lively food market near the central area, and there’s a café with indoor/outdoor seating to round off a stroll. The ornamental lakes, rustic bridges, sculpture and rose gardens add pockets of calm and interest for slower visits, with memorials—including to the International Brigade—reflecting the park’s layered story. Practical access is straightforward via Putney Bridge Underground and local buses, and it’s free to enter, making it easy to drop in for a quick walk or a full afternoon. If there’s a caveat, occasional reports note that routine gardening can feel a touch uneven at times, though restoration funding has preserved the park’s core charm and facilities remain well used by locals. Overall, Bishop’s Park is a reliable, scenic staple for runs, picnics, playtime, and Thames-side wanders—an everyday classic with real character in west London

   A family friendly park set alongside the river. There are gardens, paths, ponds, playgrounds and exercise equipment.

   Bishop's Park, home to Fulham Palace with its filled walled-garden and historic tales, and lovely riverside paths and trails. Far too many off-lead dogs for my liking but lots of different spaces and a very nice space. When I lived in Fulham I was very close to here and this park was a dream.

   Came across this lovely park as I was walking along the Thames path today. It's such a pretty place with lots of space to relax or play. There are a lot of different areas, one of which is a nice rose garden. There is also a lovely fountain in the middle of the park. There's a playground, toilets and a cafe.

   Aside from getting there when it was nearly dark, this park is perfect for kids and strolling along the bank of the river Thames. Such a great atmosphere with live band on the opposite bank as you walk down. Worth noting there is plenty of parking after 5pm but on match days that is extended to 9.30pm. If you're lucky, you'll catchall glimpse of a BMW 300 Isetta....awesome!

   Visited the meadows and park today. First visit to this Park near Putmey Bridge on a lovely sunny day. The path along the river is having maintenance work done on part of the pathway keep walking & you can access the other end. The meadow needs work done to repair the grass. The other areas are very nice with lots of benches to sit down & relax. Great play areas for children
