Fulham, formerly a village, but now a suburb of London, in the south of Middlesex, on the left bank of the Thames, 4½ miles SW. of Charing Cross. Here since 1141 has been the palace of the bishops of London, but the present building is mostly not more than a century old. The church contains the tombs of many of the bishops; and the place also has memories of Bodley, Florio, Richardson, Hallam, Crotch, and Albert Smith.
