What’s New, On & Happening in Fulham

What’s New

Pulse Club Sauna

Pulse Club Sauna have opened their first flagship in Fulham with the am of making sauna and ice bath culture a regular and affordable routine. Urban Village LDN were invited down for a sneak peek before they officially opened this weekend. As soon as we stepped through their doors on the North End Road we were given a warm welcome before heading down to check out the main space where the community sauna and four ice plunge pools are located. The interiors are stunning think soft lighting, bare brick walls, wooden cylindrical plunge pools and waterfall showers all combining to make what feels like a relaxing social space.

We caught up with co-founder Keiran to find out more. “I wasn’t particularly keen on saunas or gyms and everyone knows about the science behind hot and cold therapy. I’d been invited to try it in East London and really didn’t want to go but I’d been having problems sleeping so thought I’d give it a try. When I came out I felt great and I slept well that night. We want visitors at Pulse to leave feeling better than when they started. The sauna culture is growing in the UK although it’s been around in Scandinavia for 100 years. We’re not here to compete with gyms we want friends to come in, socialise and we’ve made it as affordable as we can to be built into routines not seen just as a treat. We’re not for super fit gym guys we’re an inclusive welcoming space for everybody”.

Pulse Club are opening next in Putney and we asked why Fulham first? Keiron told us “we weren't looking to target Fulham, we looked at sites across London but North End Road had life to it and we thought we’d compliment the fitness studios around us. The area has great transport links and a broad mix of people. We learnt a lot building the Fulham club and our aim is to roll out in similar areas not Zone 1 but more residential areas. We’ve had a great response from our early taster sessions and the local community has been really supportive”.

The opening offer, three sessions for £30, has proved popular so hurry and head to the link below to see if there are any slots left, limited to the first 100 people. Standard pricing will be off peak £17 (Mon - Fri before 5pm) on peak £22 and they will be announcing guided classes and memberships soon.

Common Pizza

Common Pizza has opened where Ollie’s used to be in Parsons Green and when we walked past recently it looked extremely lively! The name we assume comes from their original open air hangout on Clapham Common, by the skate park, which proved to be a bit hit when they opened in spring last year.

Fulham is their first restaurant and you can expect New York style thin crust and deep pan Detroit style pizza. After you’ve picked what style you’re going for, next chose your pizza (red, orange, green or white) then your sides (salads, easy bites including buffalo wings and mac and cheese). They have a great selection of dipping sauces, choose one or go for all five (no double dipping if you’re sharing). They also have a made without gluten menu, not for those with serious allergies as they use the same oven, but if cross contamination isn’t an issue they have gluten free pizza and also a made without gluten vanilla and strawberry or peanut butter cheesecake.

The space and interiors pay homage to an American style diner and the soundtrack reflects the sounds of Detroit and the streets of New York with hip hop, Motown, techno and American classics playing. It seems like Common Pizza have got off to a great start since opening on Parsons Green Lane and have looked busy so take note, they take walk ins only (groups of 8 or less). Get in touch if you’ve got a bigger group and if there are queues, don’t panic we’ve been told they seat people pretty quickly.

Get Set Swim

You’ve probably seen hoardings up at Fulham Island by Farm Lane for quite a while now but that is set to change as Get Set Swim are getting ready to open very soon. Fulham is the fifth and newest location for this swim club designed with warm, calm pools and small classes. Their instructors help children and adults swim with confidence and learn at their own pace. Parents can either relax whilst their children are having lessons, enjoy a cuppa, catch up on emails, or watch the lesson and siblings can play safely in a dedicated play area.

Get Set Swim was founded by Claire Harrison, a swim school expert with over two decades of experience, after becoming frustrated by the common challenges families faced with traditional swimming lessons; spaces that felt cold and unwelcoming, chaotic changing rooms and inconsistent teaching.

Get Set Swim began with a few classes and has grown into a community of more than 8,000 families and adults. Get Set Swim aren’t just for parent and baby or children’s classes, their instructors also help adults from nervous beginners to supporting fitness, open water and triathlon goals.

We can’t wait to see this space finally unveiled and brought to life after years of not being used and boarded up. If you’re interested there are free trails on offer and early bird bookings for the month of April. To find out more about lessons and the Get Set Swim approach head to the link below.

Kokodoo

After serving authentic crispy Korean fried chicken from food trucks across the UK, catering outside stadiums and corporate events since 2016, Cordon Bleu trained chef and founder Mary Yoon and the team behind Kokodoo picked Fulham as the location for their first flagship diner.

The offer here is pretty simple battered boneless Korean fried chicken where you chose a base (sticky rice or skin on chips) and a glaze (including sweet & spicy, fiery chilli, honey glazed). Alternatively enjoy grilled marinated chicken, hot wings or a kimchi chicken burger.  This award wining team cook chicken fresh for every order, no hot holding!

We of course approve that they chose Fulham for the flagship and it was exciting to watch the effortlessly cool interiors go up at an impressive rate. We love the stainless steel shop front, lightbox menus, warm white interiors and red branding. They’ve also been holding live DJ sessions on a Saturday night. Next time you’re heading off to catch a bite before a film at Vue why not pop in to Kokodoo at 8 Fulham Broadway, order the Korean chicken option of your choice and take a seat at their communal table.

What’s Happening

Aragon House

Young’s Brewery took over Aragon House after buying the City Pub group last year and they’ve given it a refurt. Great to see that the garden has had a much needed glow up just in time for incoming warmer weather. The makeover includes new seating, all weather covers and a new look which was very much needed. We know we’re not the only ones who felt it was looking a tad jaded. The interiors have also had a refresh and we’re thrilled that the art packed walls and black and white floor tiles are still very much a feature.

There’s a new menu too with sharing Sunday roasts and new additions including Sautéed leek, hot honey & Taleggio ravioli, Barnsley lamb chop with whipped goats curd, cavolo nero and red wine jus, butter chicken skewers and charred cauliflower.

We’re looking forward to al fresco sun downers this summer in the spruced up garden, until then we’ll be booking into the Green Room speakeasy for cocktails where you can also enjoy a pre dinner drink , classic serves, seasonal sips and mocktails.

Le Cafe Sablé

We know many Fulhamites were sad when Sable Cookies left SW6 in July 2025. But good news they’re back and you’ll find them at number 188 Wandsworth Bridge Road. When we popped in to say hello we just followed our nose towards the delicious freshly baked smells wafting our way. Inspired by trips to New York, Sablé was born first as an online business and then bricks and mortar in 2024 with the simple aim of creating London's best thick, gooey and crisp cookies.

Sable bakes fresh New York style, small batch cookies every day. Flavours include triple chocolate sea salt, raspberry and white chocolate and birthday cake cookies. There is now a small seating area outside and as well as cookies you can enjoy cookie puddings (Pistachio Kunfa and Banana) coffee and matcha. Pleased to hear that since returning to Fulham they’ve had their busiest ever weekend.

Mercado Alley

Just outside of the hood but thought you might be interested to hear that Mercado Alley has launched their new curated collection of artisan craftsmanship and homeware at Chelsea Powerhouse Waterfront. We’ve always enjoyed a brisk walk to where Fulham joins Chelsea to watch this space radically change and develop over the years. Mercado Alley is the first shop to open in the Powerhouse (outside of Sainsbury’s) and we were delighted to hear of this new opening from a subscriber.

We are looking forward to taking a peek at the collection ourselves which features handmade homeware from everyday essentials to unique statement pieces. What began as a small market stall in Greenwich Market has now grown into a creative team that also offer customisation services, working with clients to design pieces that perfectly reflect their style. In addition, they up-cycle pre-owned items, giving them a fresh, modern look. Owner Gabriel told us “Whether it’s a house, an office, or a creative workspace, our goal is to design pieces that complement your individual taste and make your surroundings feel a little more special. As a small but passionate team, we’re proud to continue growing while staying true to our roots: making beautiful, thoughtful items that tell a story”.

Congratulations!

Great to hear that Gauri Naffrey, Fulham resident and owner of Bridge Baker, was recently awarded “Business Woman of the Year” by the London Chamber of Commerce for SME’s. “I couldn’t have done it without all the support of the local Fulham community! So thank you for all your support these past years”.

Bridge Baker were one of the very first businesses we featured on our “What’s New” page when we launched and they opened in 2019 so we’ve always had a bit of a soft spot and much admiration for what’s been achieved to date. It’s been fantastic watching Bridge Baker expand to now three bakeries, two of which are here in Fulham.
