Fulham lettings agents: Lettings in London SW6

Fulham is adjacent to Chelsea and extremely popular with young professional singles and families. Originally, the area was a market garden and the architecture is mostly Victorian offering a range of family houses and converted flats. Fulham is in high demand with its direct links into the City and offers easy access to West London (i.e. Hammersmith, the M4, Heathrow Airport) and to the South West via the A3.

The abundance of Montessori Schools, nurseries and Prep schools make Fulham a popular choice for many young families, add to this the fact that the area has four parks, all with children’s facilities and tennis courts. The local Hurlingham Club and Harbour Club serve more sporty residents.

Lettings in Fulham SW6

Fulham grew up, like many other parts of London, as a little riverside settlement out of London proper sometime in the 14th century. It wasn’t until the 1840′s that it was finally swallowed by the city – and this explains (to an extent) how it retains its “village” charm.

Nowadays it’s the area to live in if you can’t afford Chelsea or Kensington. However, Fulham is far from cheap though! Fulham is characterised by shockingly expensive terraced houses and quiet evenings.

As you’d expect from an area like this the bars and restaurants aren’t the cheapest – but they do tend to be of a rather high standard. Additionally, since the surroundings are pleasant, Fulham is an excellent place to go for a stroll.

Before you head towards the pub or a restaurant have a look at Fulham Palace (Bishop’s Avenue). This was the summer residence of the Bishop of London from 704 until 1973. It’s not really a palace – more of a Tudor manor, but don’t let that stop you. The grounds themselves are very nice to look at and include a bunch of curiosities – so it’s well the visit.

Barnes Lettings Agents: Lettings in London SW13

Barnes is an attractive residential village located on the south side of the River Thames, opposite Hammersmith. The area has become popular with young professional families. Despite its relatively central location Barnes often seems somewhat removed being a leafy district, surrounded on three sides by the River Thames. The area has many well-proportioned family homes and has a multitude of good local nursery and primary schools. The easy train link to Central London and the proximity of Richmond Park make Barnes an extremely popular choice

Kew, Mortlake & Barnes

Kew village retains all the charm of the eighteenth century when the Hanoverian royal family made it their home. The painter Thomas Gainsborough is buried in Kew Church. The National Archives (formerly the Public Record Office) is also based in Kew, holding 900 years of historical records, including the Domesday Book.

Moving east along the river is Mortlake, finishing point of the annual Oxford v Cambridge boat race, and where eccentric Victorian explorer Richard Burton is buried on a splendid tent shaped tomb in the cemetery.

Nearby Barnes village was home to the composer Gustav Holst and novelist Henry Fielding. Barnes pond and common add to the traditional village feel complete with ducks and geese.
