The long awaited riverside walkway by Craven Cottage has finally opened.
For the first time ever it is possible for the public to walk between the stadium and the River Thames and there is now a direct route next to the river between Fulham and Hammermith.
The new section of the Thames Path, which is actually decking built over the water, was enabled by a planning condition for the building of Fulham FC Riverside Stand.
The club will still be able to restrict access to the walkway on match days but at other times it will end the need to go around the rear of the stadium when walking by the river.
The stadium project has faced several delays since construction began in 2019. These stemmed from multiple factors, including complications in demolishing the old stand, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the main contractor going into administration.
