London - Arts & Entertainment - Parks
This is a fantastic park. I'm really surprised that Sunday was the first time i have ever visited! The picturesque Bishop's Park stretches along the banks of the Thames from Craven Cottage (home of Fulham FC) down to Putney bridge. As well as containing Fulham Palace, as The Duck rightly observed, the park is packed with tennis courts, rose gardens, playgrounds, bowling greens and much, much more. In fact, the tennis courts looked to be some of the finest public courts in London (up yours Lambeth!). This must also be an incredible vantage point for the Oxford vs. Cambridge boat race. I can definitely imagine the cycle lane brimming with spectators!
One final fun fact - Bishop's Park also features in the film "The Omen". The park plays host to the gruesome end of a local priest! Best not to walk around these parts after dark i'd say ;)
