Parsons Green, Public park in Fulham, London, England
Parsons Green is a triangular green space lined with mature plane trees at its edges and featuring lime trees along a central pathway. The park covers about 1.37 hectares and creates an open plaza framed by trees in the heart of the neighborhood.
The space traces its roots to 1391 when timber rights were first documented in court records, establishing it as the original village green near the rector's residence. This long history makes it one of the area's oldest continuously used community spaces.
The green sits within a Conservation Area surrounded by listed buildings that shape the local character of the neighborhood. St Dionis Church stands as a recognizable landmark that residents and visitors naturally use to orient themselves in the area.
The space is freely accessible and sits right next to Parsons Green Underground station on the District line, making it easy to reach. Buses also stop nearby, connecting the place conveniently to other parts of the city.
The space served as Fulham Football Club's home ground from 1889 to 1891 before the club relocated. Early aircraft testing also took place here at the start of the twentieth century, marking it as a site of pioneering flight experiments.
