Bishop's Park from Putney Bridge, Fulham, London

The building you see closer to the riverside path is Pryors Bank Pavilion. It is an attractive mock Tudor pavilion, formerly a refreshments house, located by Putney Bridge and sitting just inside the gates of Bishop’s Park. It is leased from the council by All Saints Church, which is adjacent, and the Church offices are on the first floor of the building. The ground floor of this pavilion is available for hire from 9am – 4pm Monday – Friday. All Saints Church are able to offer to charities and voluntary sector groups at little or no cost and offers the following amenities which can be hired/borrowed as a whole or separately. It has disabled access. All users have access to two loos (one disabled) and a front lobby for storage of coats ( not valuables).

The church:

The building and its churchyard are situated next to Bishop's Park, overlooking the River Thames. The church has a long association with the bishops of London as lords of the manor of Fulham, and is the burial place for many of them. The nearby Fulham Palace is the former manor of Fulham and the former residence of the bishops of London.

 

Putney Bridge, like its predecessor Fulham Bridge, is unique in that it is the only bridge in Britain to have a church at both ends: the ancient St Mary's Church is located in Putney on the south bank, and All Saints' Church, Fulham on the North bank
