Why is it called Putney Bridge?

District

Where the name comes from

Named after Putney Bridge, though the station is on the Fulham side of the Thames, not in Putney. Fulham comes from Old English: the personal name Fulla and hamm, land hemmed in by water or a river-meadow.

Worth knowing: From 1902 to 1932 it was called Putney Bridge & Hurlingham.
