About the Bishops Park Conservation Area
The Bishops Park Conservation Area covers about 51 hectares within London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham’s area. Inside the boundary are 21 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 18 Grade II). The most significant is Fulham Palace, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
