Fulham Gardens resident,Daniel Schmidt went for a walk at 10pm to beat the heat with his dog, Daisy.
Suddenly he felt a presence. He turned and was surprised to spot a fox following him and his pooch.
Schmidt told Nikolai Beilharz, at first he thought the fox was just curious, but then it licked its lips.
A fox was spotted in Fulham Gardens at night, seemingly stalking a dog and it's owner.(Daniel Schmidt)

Fulham is offered to the market for only the second time in 139 years
It was the former home of the White family who founded Fulham – a suburb in Adelaide’s west
Built for one of Adelaide’s founding families
iconic Fulham mansion “Weetunga” is looking for a new owner to continue its preservation
The property at 14 Weetunga St
has been listed with an asking price of $2.75 million and is likely to set a new residential sales record for Fulham when it sells
son of John White – the founder of the suburb of Fulham – who acquired the area in 1836
after the suburb of Fulham in his native London
but it wasn’t until 1880 that the impressive family estate was built
Offered to the market for only the second time in 139 years
its vendor – who did not wish to be named – has completed extensive renovations in and around the property
especially cultural heritage such as Weetunga,” she said
“So the last few years have been a labour of love and I’ll be sad to see it go
I intended to retire there but I’m spending a lot of time away
the home is packed with character features
tessellated tiling and timber hardwood floorboards
the home comprises of formal living spaces
with a renovated timber kitchen attaching to the former servants’ quarters
The versatile layout of the main home offers family or guest accommodation of up to four bedrooms with a formal lounge
The tower presents as the ideal studio or home office
while an underground cellar is large enough for the wine enthusiast to enjoy a drop while boasting to a few
The former servant quarters offer potential separate accommodation – ideal as a fully self-contained one-bedroom apartment
“It was in a fairly run down stage when I purchased it…and I tried hard to bring it back to its former glory,” the vendor said
“I removed all of the rubbish and debris that was on the site
and of course replaced all the wiring and plumbing
“The (tower) also needed complete restoration
It had a huge beehive up there which took up almost the entire ceiling
So I sought out a beekeeper to remove it without damaging it and killing any of the bees
“Now it’s a beautiful home to live in and my hope is that it will go to a family or individual that will continue its preservation.”

Fulham Palace Gardens have been bringing joy to garden-lovers in London for three centuries
Mark Griffiths pays tribute to the extraordinary figure who first created this idyllic space
This spring sees the opening of an important series of plantings at Fulham Palace
They restore to its gardens many of the species introduced there in the late 17th and early 18th centuries by Henry Compton
one of British horticulture’s most remarkable figures
As Bishop of London and an ardent Anglican
Compton joined six secular grandees in June 1688 in sending a letter to William of Orange at The Hague
pledged to support the Protestant Prince if he invaded England and deposed the Catholic James II in favour of the King’s daughter Mary (William’s wife and co-religionist)
From this letter flowed the Glorious Revolution
the crowning of William and Mary the following April and the Bill of Rights
An old friend and servant of the new joint monarchs
he’d overseen Mary’s Protestant education
presided at her wedding to William and kept the pair abreast of events in England
His tutelage of Mary’s younger sister was even closer
the Bishop had reverted to his earlier career as a soldier
spirited her away from her father’s clutches in London and
escorted her to safety and her husband in Oxford
Plants were as dear to Compton as Protestantism
His appointment as Bishop of London in 1675 entailed moving to Fulham Palace
he proceeded (as Richard Pulteney wrote in 1790) ‘to collect a greater variety of Greenhouse rarities
and to plant a greater variety of hardy Exotic Trees and Shrubs
than had been seen in any garden before in England’
At his side was his gardener George London
whose talents Compton nurtured with characteristic generosity
London would go on to set up the Brompton Park Nursery and become the English elite’s garden designer of choice
often attended the Botany Club that met at the Temple Coffee House in Devereux Court
they received and examined scores of new plants from overseas
Many species that would be communicated to the Royal Society or become ornaments of English horticulture were first revealed at the Temple Coffee House
Much of this treasure was amassed thanks to one of Compton’s duties as Bishop—the recruitment and management of Anglican clergy in the colonies
he chose men who had (or could be persuaded to acquire) an interest in plant-collecting
The most prodigious of these chaplain field agents was John Banister
an outstanding natural historian in his own right
where he ministered and botanised until his death
he had sent back countless specimens and seeds of North American species
Liquidambar styraciflua and Magnolia virginiana (England’s first magnolia and still one of the loveliest)
all of which flourished in the grounds of Fulham Palace
His Grace’s glasshouses were full of the fruits of his political intrigues
William of Orange was a plant lover and his right-hand man William Bentinck even more so
Compton received the pick of the prizes brought home by Dutch explorers
Leonotis leonurus and several Pelargonium species collected by Paul Hermann in South Africa
Politics can also take some credit for the scale and intensity of Compton’s gardening
he threw himself into it when suspended from episcopal duties for opposing James II and again when William and Mary failed to make him Archbishop of Canterbury
but his way of life was by then settled: a mixture of passionate horticulture
diligent pastoral care and impressive charitable works
three pursuits to which he devoted all of his sizeable income and more
an obituarist marvelled at Compton’s kindness to anyone interested in plants: ‘He showed great Civilities to
all those who were anything curious in this sort of Study.’ He would have embraced the gardeners at Fulham Palace and their new living monument to his glorious

gardens and open spaces is so good for wellbeing.”

A group of volunteers is hard at work in the vineries and flowerbeds
toddlers are exploring the wildflower meadow which is buzzing with bees
and an excited group of children dressed as Tudors are on their way to tend their own vegetable patch
A National Lottery funded project has just finished here
to make the garden fully accessible all year round for the first time
“It’s things like this funding that enable us to stay open for free
There are certainly plenty of reasons to visit
Tudor gateways and plenty of tours and activities to join
The volunteer-run Fulham Palace Wagon sells plants to the public as well as honey from its own beehives
which is so popular it sells out nearly straight away
A key part of the project was building Fulham Palace’s collection of rare plants
Lucy explains: “There’s been a garden here since the 1500s
Many examples of those plants are now flourishing in specially created flowerbeds just outside the walled garden
This horticultural history and the wider history of the Bishops that called it home is brought to life in a new museum inside Fulham Palace
£9million of money raised by National Lottery players has been invested in Fulham Palace and the surrounding Bishop’s Park
has also just reopened following painstaking restoration
“I hope National Lottery players understand what their ticket has enabled us to do
it’s given us the biggest boost we’ve had to date and it’s put Fulham Palace on the map
but they have certainly helped this wonderful heritage site!”

A bumper community gardening show is planned to celebrate the centenary year
Pictured left to right at Fulham Palace Allotments are FHS show secretary Charles Dowson
member Rose Craston and FHS chair Eddie Robinson
Step back in time 100 years and the landscape of London looked very different
Just a few years after the end of the First World War
In 1924, green-fingered local people founded the Fulham Horticultural Society (FHS) with its debut show
the thriving society is determined to share the health and community benefits of gardening with new generations
The Fulham Horticultural Society centenary show is set to bring a gardening buzz to the borough on Saturday 7 September
with all welcome to celebrate the milestone anniversary
and garden-inspired arts and crafts are among the displays that will showcase local gardeners' prowess at the show
Being held at St Etheldreda's Church
the show is a chance for amateur gardeners of all abilities
from complete beginners to seasoned veterans
"Gardening is absolutely vital," explains Eddie Robinson
"When people have very stressful jobs and lives
we have to translate today's problems to similar problems in the past
Eddie explains that the genesis of the community began at the Fulham Palace Meadows Allotments Association's site
Gifted to local gardeners by the Bishop of London in 1916
the 15-acre allotments remain an important green space for the area
"The concept of allotments really took off during the First World War when there was a shortage of production
and it has just kept going," points out Eddie
a former construction engineer on civil engineering projects
Gardening is a "wonderfully relaxing" activity for people of all ages
who moved to London from rural Yorkshire and was determined to find a slice of the good life to help counteract his busy lifestyle
Taking on an allotment in 2001 led to involvement in FHS
and Eddie took over the role of chair in 2007
Eddie is keen to encourage gardening as a pastime for all
or even creating a vegetable patch on a patio
the smallest of spaces can be transformed into a bountiful micro-garden – no allotment needed

FHS creates "a real sense of community because people are here for each other if they need help or advice"
"It's also a very international community so we'll have people coming to the show with vegetables we've never seen before," she adds
While the show's offerings have become increasingly global – with homegrown vegetables hailing from an array of countries including Iraq
India and Italy – historical documents prove the FHS has always had a plethora of interesting entries
A printed programme dating back to 1969 publicises the society's Chrysanthemum
Horticultural and Hamster Show on 13 September at Fulham Old Town Hall
the 1975 programme shares details of a whopping four shows – in April
August and September – as well as separate competitions dedicated to gardens and allotments
Affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society and the National Vegetable Society
FHS gives green-fingered residents the opportunity to show off the fruits of their labours
"People nowadays love to grow and enjoy what they have," adds Eddie
"We just keep running the show in the hope there will be a new groundswell of people coming forward."

With sharing knowledge a priority for the society, which hosted BBC Radio 4 show Gardeners' Question Time for a recording aired in April
its regular monthly hints and tips are a key way of connecting with members through the year
The group is also taking part of the annual Chillifest event at Fulham Palace on Sunday 8 September
Bringing a seriously sunny vibe to the historic site in Bishop's Avenue
the event from 11am to 3pm promises live music
A salsa workshop will be a chance to groove to the Latin jazz-inspired sounds of local music collective Banda Bomba
before checking out the wonderful produce on display from FHS and the allotments association
"The FHS annual show and Chillifest event taking place over the first weekend in September are a fantastic celebration of our 100th anniversary," highlights Eddie
"We'd love to welcome people from across the borough and beyond to take part in showing
or simply to come along and enjoy themselves at these free community events

Your guide to London's culture and transport news and events taking place across the city
Published on 14th July 2012 by ianVisits in Events and Tours
At the far end of the posh lawn at the back of Fulham Palace is a high wall
punched through with a decorate gateway – and behind lies a historic walled garden
Part of it has now been restored to a reasonable replica of an earlier design
and there is also ongoing archaeology work in the rest
closed in 2010 to allow the restoration of the workmen sheds and greenhouse
as well as the decorative Knot Garden based on a design from 1830
There has been a garden of some sort on the site since at least the 15th century
probably planted with vines and the first record of a walled garden comes from 1647
as the gate in the wall is described as Tudor
a single pineapple could sell for the equivalent of £5,000
The best fertiliser it turned out was dead animals
of which many were deposited in the planting pits to rot down
The glasshouse that is here today is a modern replica in aluminium
The use of metal instead of wood may offend some
but it is a lot cheaper to maintain in the long term
The long term intention is that the walled garden will continue its restoration and become a supplier to the cafe inside Fulham Palace itself
much of the rest of the space is given over to an archaeology project which is trying to recover the early layouts of the garden so that restoration can be reasonably accurate
scraping away the soil looking for hints of its past is not helped by the vast number of suckers and roots from past and present trees
Part of the aim of the archaeology work is also to define how deep later planting can go without disturbing any lingering remains
then that has to be cleared by the heritage people
A row of more recent apple trees might need to come down as they are in totally the wrong place
While the archaeology is taking place, they are also holding guided tours of the site
If visiting, do look to the right of the Tudor entrance, as there are some bricked up “bee boles“
which were niches in the wall to house early bee hives known as skeps
During my visit I didn’t have time to visit the Palace itself, that will have to wait for a return visit – as will All Saints Fulham
the place where Patrick Troughton was so famously killed in The Omen
A few more photos of the walled garden are here

where Barratt is building 463 homes overlooking the Thames as part of a development that ranges from luxury one-bedroom flats with wine fridges to multi-million pound townhouses with their own underground garages
(There is also a penthouse with a roof terrace that's so high it is not overlooked
making it perfect for uninterrupted sunbathing.)
are the communal gardens with a badminton court
a children's maze and stepping stones for families to play on
These help to balance out the development's less appealing aspect of being built on top of a Sainsbury's superstore
When demand for space in London is so great that a tiny converted garage sells for hundreds of thousands of pounds, it seems surprising to find more than eight acres of undeveloped land in a popular residential area of the capital.
Cost: From £693,000 for a one-bedroom flat to £5million for a five-bedroom townhouse.
Big attraction: Family friendly with plenty of outdoor games in the gardens, including an outdoor gym and a children's maze.
What does it cost to run? Ground rent, annual rent and parking costs can add thousands of pounds a year to the cost of owning a home at Fulham Riverside.
But that is what has been available at Fulham Riverside until renowned housebuilder Barratt stepped in.
As it's Fulham Riverside name suggests, it is on the banks of the River Thames.
Despite being a big site with more than 450 homes, it is tricky to find if you're on foot as it is tucked away from the main shopping area of Fulham (being at the Wandsworth Bridge end of Townmead Road for those with a detailed knowledge of this corner of the capital).
But this is part of its beauty as it is in a relatively quiet spot for London.
It depends on the size of the property, but expect to pay anything from £693,500 for a one-bedroom flat to £5million for one of the five or six-bedroom terrace townhouses.
The landscaped gardens are full of outdoor games, including table tennis tables, a children's maze, and an outdoor gym.
There is also a badminton court overlooking the Thames, which undoubtedly now contains a few more shuttlecocks from over-zealous players.
For those who like to exercise their brains as well as their bodies, there are three sit-down outdoor tables with chess boards inscribed on the top.
The gardens have been carefully designed by Fabrik landscape architects and boast some fun water features, including stepping stones for children to play on and a large waterfall.
As you turn up to the site, you're presented with the area's largest Sainsbury's superstore covering 100,000 sq ft. It runs both along the façade of the development and below it.
As I was told during a tour of the site, 'you're now standing above an aisle of baked beans'.
However, this does also mean residents literally have grocery shopping on their doorstep. As Barratt's London sales director Gavin Stewart points out, the Sainsbury's superstore offers residents a 'convenient experience'.
The other potential downside is the 15 minute walk to Fulham Broadway and Parsons Green underground stations, which are on the district line. However, the area is close to Imperial Wharf station for overground services across London and is well connected on the bus routes.
There are different sized homes at Fulham Riverside and so the buyers so far have been varied, including some from overseas. However, the main group are professional young families looking for more space, according to Barratt.
There are a number of schools nearby, including Lady Margaret School, a Church of England school for girls aged between 11 and 18, and Hurlingham School, an independent co-educational preparatory school for those aged four to 11. The Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, which has the highest average mark for the Baccalauréat Général outside France, is around two miles away from Fulham Riverside.
The immediate surrounding area is residential - with traditional terraced houses - and undoubtedly prosperous. Many of the 160 residents who have so far bought homes at Fulham Riverside are young professionals or families.
Fulham is on the north bank of the Thames, between Chelsea and Putney. It is home to some of London's finest schools and parks, including Hurlingham Park. And nearby is the King's Road.
Fulham Palace is just a short way down the river. Admission to the Palace and its grounds is free of charge.
Residents are within walking distance of a number of restaurants including The Harwood Arms and Joe's Brasserie, part of the Brinkley's Restaurant Group. Chelsea and Fulham are both home to an abundance of top restaurants including Eight Over Eight, Will Ricker's stylish pan-Asian eatery, and the famous Bluebird café on The King's Road.
The gardens are a big selling point for families. They have been designed specifically with children in mind, with the playful stepping steps in shallow water.
Fulham Riverside is a 10 minute walk from Imperial Wharf station which links to Waterloo in 19 minutes, Paddington in 21 minutes and Gatwick in 47 minutes. Buses are also available.
Buyers will need to take into account the costs of ground rent and monthly service charges.
Annual ground rent starts from £375 for a one bedroom property, with the amount for a six bedroom townhouse has yet to be disclosed.
Annual management fees cost more than £5,000 for a three bedroom property.
There are also additional charges for basement car parking, costing an extra £600 a year.
The kitchen has integrated appliances, the bathroom has tiling to walls and floor, and the main bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. Residents also have access to all of the onsite facilities, including parking, a gym, and an onsite café.
