I am finding many reasonably priced flats and townhouses for rent in Fulham. As they say "(In the Highly Sought after Residential Area of Fulham)".

Is this area convenient to the sights and sounds of London. Once we get to the tube how long a trip is it?

Thanks.

Just a short tube ride from Kensington and Hyde Park area in the heart of London. Fulham i think is famous for a famous brewery. Seems like a nice area when i was there.

Before you rent, check how close the nearest tube station is.

Beware the infamous elastic london geography! "Fulham" could be anywhere from the Kings Rd to North End Rd - and there's a world of difference!

If you have specific addresses we'll probably be able to help (I work for Hammersmith and Fulham Council so know the area well)

Thanks - this is one that is available.

Comments appreciated.

This is a standard Victorian terrace house, in what is indeed a sought-after area. Neighbours are likely to be fairly well-heeled professionals and media people.

It's between a quarter and half a mile from Fulham Broadway underground on the District Line, and close to Fulham Road for buses to South Kensington, Harrods, Hyde Park Corner and central London:

Patrick's on the money. It's in Parsons Green, which is a very upmarket part of the world.

The local pub there is called the White Horse, universally known as the Sloaney Pony which should give you an idea of what the place is like. The other pub in the area - Novellos - has an Elvis tribute night every week, so there's something for everyone.

I would say it's a good choice.

at £850/week in sept with only a £50 deposit, this sounds like a good deal. they don't mention VAT so i would ask if it is included. linen is included but make sure there are no additional charges for electricity, etc.

It is $ 1100 for the week with 10% downpayment. I am just confirming that VAT is included then I will most likely book and hope it is really there when I arrive.

Thanks

$1100!!! that's less than £100 per night for a four bedroomed house.

sorry 1100GBP not $$

That's not bad at all. As has been said, a residential area, you're close to Fulham Broadway tube. There's lots of restaurants on Wandsworth Bridge road, not too far away.
