St Thomas of Canterbury, Rylston Road, Fulham (Roman Catholic)
The church and churchyard are surrounded by houses built after the church. It is one of A.W.N. Pugin’s few London churches and dates from 1847-48. A 2010 reordering has reinstated 19th century style decoration and seating and created an outer north passage beyond the north aisle.

All Saints, Church Gate, Fulham
At the north end of Putney Bridge facing across to Putney Parish Church, this is the old parish church of Fulham on the edge of Bishop’s Park. The tower dates from 1440 but the rest was rebuilt in 1880-81 by Arthur Blomfield. Inside there is a large collection of monuments from before the rebuilding and much, mainly Heaton, Butler and Bayne, glass. Some medieval pieces remain together with an older Wailes window and a later one by Margaret H.E. Rope.

St John, North End Road, Walham Green
A short way north of Fulham Broadway tube station. The church is by J.H. Taylor and dates from 1827-28. In 1893 E.P. Warren removed the galleries. A major reordering in 1985-89 by Broadbent, Hastings, Reid and New saw much the west end divided off vertically and horizontally into halls and many furnishings removed. A small day chapel has been created at the west end of the building. In 2018 there will be another reordering aimed at restoring a more traditional church like atmosphere. The west end (Jan 2018) is currently concealed behind scaffolding and a trompde d’oeil hoarding.
