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
Opened in 1889 and 229 metres long. It carries District Line tube trains from Wimbledon to Earls Court and beyond. There is a footpath on the east side so it can be crossed on foot.
Fulham Railway Bridge crosses the River Thames in London. It is very close to Putney Bridge, and carries the London Underground District line between Putney Bridge station on the North, and East Putney station on the South. Fulham Railway Bridge can also be crossed on foot, on the downstream (east) side.
Originally referred to by its design engineers W. H. Thomas and William Jacomb as Putney Railway Bridge (which it is still sometimes called) it has no official name, but for over a hundred years it has been known colloquially as "The Iron Bridge".
The bridge is of lattice girder construction and 418 metres (1,371 ft) long, with 5 spans totalling 301 metres (988 ft) actually across the river, two further spans on the southern shore, and one on the north. It was designed for the London and South Western Railway by Brunel's former assistant William Jacomb, built by Head Wrightson and opened in 1889.
It was refurbished between 1995 and 1997 for the London Underground by Tilbury Douglas, and it was at that time that a plaque bearing the erroneous title Fulham Railway Bridge was attached to the pillar at the top of the pedestrian stairway on the Putney (Southern) downstream side of the bridge.
Built in 1887-9 for the London and South Western Railway with five spans of lattice-girder construction. It was built by William Jacomb, Brunel's assistant on the ship, the Great Eastern.
