  • The Bishop of London, Colonialism and Transatlantic Slavery
    The Bishop of London, colonialism and transatlantic slavery: Research brief for a temporary exhibition, spring 2022 and information to input into permanent displays Introduction Fulham Palace is one of the earliest and most intriguing historic powerhouses situated alongside the Thames and the last one to be fully restored. It dates back to 704AD and for over thirteen centuries was owned by the Bishop of London. The Palace site is of exceptional archaeological interest and has been a scheduled monument since 1976. The buildings are listed as Grade I and II. The 13 acres of botanical gardens, with plant specimens introduced here from all over the world in the late 17th century, are Grade II* listed. Fulham Palace Trust has run the site since 2011. We are restoring it to its former glory so that we can fulfil our vision to engage people of all ages and from all walks of life with the many benefits the Palace and gardens have to offer. Our site-wide interpretation, inspired learning and engagement programmes, and richly-textured exhibitions reveal insights, through the individual stories of the Bishops of London, into over 1,300 years of English history. In 2019 we completed a £3.8m capital project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, to restore and renew the historic house and garden. The Trust opens the Palace and gardens seven days a week free of charge. In 2019/20 we welcomed 340,000 visitors. We manage a museum, café, an award-winning schools programme (engaging over 5,640 pupils annually) and we stage a wide range of cultural events.

  • 2. Borough Transport Objectives
    Chapter Two Objectives 2. Borough Transport Objectives 2.1 Introduction This chapter sets out Hammersmith & Fulham’s Borough Transport Objectives for the period 2011 - 2014 and beyond, reflecting the timeframe of the revised MTS. The structure is as follows: • Sections 2.2 and 2.5 describe the local context firstly providing an overview of the borough characteristics and its transport geography, and then summarising the London- wide, sub-regional and local policy influences which have informed the preparation of this LIP. • Section 2.6 sets out Hammersmith & Fulham’s problems, challenges and opportunities in the context of the Mayor’s transport goals and challenges for London, and looks at the main issues which need to be addressed within the borough in order to deliver the revised MTS goals. • Finally section 2.7 sets out our Borough Transport Objectives for this LIP, which have been created by the issues identified in Sections 2.2 to 2.6. 2.2 About Hammersmith & Fulham The borough of Hammersmith & Fulham is situated on the western edge of inner London in a strategic location on the transport routes between central London and Heathrow airport. The orientation of the borough is north to south, with most major transport links, both road and rail, carrying through-traffic from east to west across the borough. Some of the busiest road junctions in London are located in the borough at Hammersmith Broadway, Shepherds Bush Green and Savoy Circus and the borough suffers disproportionately from the effects of through-traffic. North-south transport links in the borough are not as good as east-west links.
