Fulham — is it a good place to live?

Fulham pairs enough everyday places within a walk to score among the stronger in London with state schools where pupils progress faster than in most of the capital.

Overall: above the London average on the six things we score

Every band is relative to other London areas — a high band means quieter or greener than most of London, not quiet or green in absolute terms. How we score.

Strengths & trade-offs

Beyond the headline, Fulham also offers streets that measure quieter than the capital's average; and cultural and leisure options beyond the London norm. For families weighing the independent route, there is also a small cluster of private schools in or close to the area — shown for context, never scored.

The nearest station is Parsons Green (London Underground), a short walk from the area's centre.
