Hurlingham Park

Hurlingham Park is a park and multi-use sports ground in Fulham, London, England. It is currently used mostly for rugby matches, football matches and athletics events[1] and is the home of Hammersmith and Fulham Rugby Football Club. The park is a two-minute walk from Putney Bridge tube station on the District line.[2]

Once known as the "spiritual home of British polo", Hurlingham Park was the venue for men's polo at the 1908 Olympics.[3] The park served as the location for Monty Python's Upper Class Twit of the Year sketch.[4]

Hurlingham Park received a Green Flag Award for 2013–2014.[5]
