With temperatures like these, Fulham's parks are a natural draw. Bishop's Park along the Thames offers shade from mature trees as well as a paddling area for younger children, while Hurlingham Park has open lawns and a café. South Park on Peterborough Road is another good option if you prefer somewhere quieter.
If you're heading out during the hottest part of the day — typically between noon and 3pm — it's worth carrying water and keeping sunscreen topped up. The UV index of 9 means sunburn can occur within minutes on unprotected skin. A hat and sunglasses are a sensible addition for the school-holiday crowd.
