Activities in LondonIndividual Sights in LondonSight 1: Fred Russell
Thomas Frederick Parnell OBE, known professionally as Fred Russell, was an English ventriloquist. He is known as "The Father of Modern Ventriloquism" because in the 1890s he used only one dummy on stage creating a fast moving comedy team rather than a multi-figure act which, at the time, was the accepted format for a ventriloquial presentation.
Sight 2: Fulham Palace
Fulham Palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in Fulham, London, previously in the former English county of Middlesex. It is the site of the Manor of Fulham dating back to Saxon times and in the continuous possession of the bishops of London since the 8th century as lords of the manor until the 20th century. The much reduced estate comprises a Grade I listed complex with medieval origins and was formerly the principal residence of the Bishop of London from the 11th century until 1973. Though still owned by the Church of England, the palace, managed by the Fulham Palace Trust, houses a number of restored historic rooms and a museum documenting its long history. The property abuts Bishops Park, once part of the estate, and contains a large botanic garden. The palace garden is ranked Grade II* on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
Sight 3: Bishop's Park
Bishops Park is a park in Fulham, West London. The park was opened by the London County Council in 1893, on land given by the Church Commissioners. It is listed Grade II on the register of parks and gardens of special historic interest maintained by English Heritage.

All Saints' Church is the ancient parish church of Fulham, in the County of Middlesex, pre-dating the Reformation. The parish was founded in the precinct of Fulham Manor, currently adjacent to it, which was in the possession of the Bishops of London, since the 8th century. Hence it began as the parish church of the bishops of London and several of them are buried there. It is now an Anglican church in Fulham, London, sited close to the River Thames, beside the northern approach to Putney Bridge. The church tower and interior nave and chancel are Grade II* listed.
