Fulham Palace: a Tudor manor house with Georgian additions and a Victorian chapel

Towns of Two Halves extracts:
● “Craven Cottage is arguably the most attractive football stadium in the country. Its location, with the Thames on one long side and with playing fields and parkland to the south, would make an estate agent salivate. With its quaint pavilion in one corner, it looks as though David Gower might come on as a substitute.”
● “George Best wore the number 7 shirt for Fulham that afternoon. To add that Bobby Moore played in Fulham’s defence and was hardly noticeable illustrates the strength of the George Best factor.”
● “Another 5-0 defeat, then, and another case of consolation being easy to find. Aside from the atmosphere of Craven Cottage and the presence of George Best, I also fixed my car’s heater.”
