Putney Bridge is a station on the District Line , Wimbledon branch, in Zone 2, between Parsons Green and East Putney . It was opened as Putney Bridge and Fulham on 1 March 1880 , renamed Putney Bridge and Hurlingham (the neighbouring district) on 1 January 1902 and received its present name in 1932 . The 18th century Ranelagh Pleasure Gardens were roughly where the station is now, and are commemorated in a couple of street names. Fulham Palace , the former home of the Bishops Of London which now contains a small museum set in Bishop's Park, is close by. In addition, the Hurlingham Club and the Fulham FC football stadium are in close proximity. The actual station is located in the centre of the suburb of Fulham , hence its original name. |
