The Prince's Trust, which put the garden centre up for sale earlier this year, has announced on the store's website: "Fulham Palace Garden Centre will close on Sunday 31st August.

"We are currently in negotiations regarding the future of the site, which is likely to be taken on by another tenant.

"As a charity, The Prince’s Trust is required to focus on its core activity of supporting disadvantaged young people into jobs and training. With this in mind, we are looking at leasing the site to raise funds in support of more young people, in line with charity law guidelines.

"We would like to thank all of our customers for their support of the garden centre.

"This website will be updated with more information when it is available."
