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.
