All Saints Church, Fulham is an Anglican Church in Fulham, London sited close to the river Thames, beside the northern approach to Putney Bridge.

History

There has been a church on the same site for over 900 years. The current building is situated in Bishop’s Park overlooking the river Thames.

The church has a long association with the Bishops of London as Lords of the Manor. Fulham Palace, the former residence of the Bishops of London is nearby.

Apart from the tower, the remainder of the current church building is from the late Victorian period. Construction on the tower began in 1440.

Putney Bridge is unique in that it is the only bridge in Britain to have a church at both ends: the ancient St. Mary's Church, Putney is located in Putney on the south bank, and All Saints Church, Fulham is on the north bank.

The church was featured in the film "The Omen".
