Parsons Green, Public park in Fulham, London, England
Parsons Green is a triangular park in the Fulham area of London, edged with mature plane trees and with lime trees running along a central path. The layout creates an open, tree-framed space at the heart of the local neighbourhood.
The green dates to 1391, when timber rights near the rector's residence were first recorded in court documents. Over the following centuries it remained the village green at the core of what was then a small settlement outside London.
The green sits within a Conservation Area surrounded by listed buildings that give the neighborhood its character. St Dionis Church, which stands at the edge of the green, acts as a natural landmark that people use to find their bearings.
The green is freely accessible at all times and sits right next to Parsons Green Underground station on the District line. Several bus routes stop nearby, so reaching it from other parts of London is straightforward.
Between 1889 and 1891 the green served as the home ground of Fulham Football Club before the club moved elsewhere. Shortly after, early aircraft experiments were carried out on the same patch of ground, making it the site of two very different chapters in local history.
