Holland Park
3
Holland Park was first opened
in 1952 and it is one of London’s
smallest public parks. The park lies
in the former grounds of Holland
House which was badly damaged
in the Great Fire of London
and the only parts that survived
were the east wing, gateway
and an arcade in the courtyard,
which can still be seen in the park.
The Park is spread around
54 acres an contains an extensive
woodland, range of mammals,
birds and insects, including
peacocks, a Japanese Garden
and much more.
Kyoto Garden

Kyoto Garden, located in Holland
Park, was a gift from the
Kyoto Chamber of Commerce
to commemorate the long
friendship between Japan
and the UK. The Garden was
opened in 1991, just before
the Japan Festival held
in London in 1992. The Garden
was designed to reflect key traits
of Japanese gardens
and it has been exceptionally
well maintained. It is the perfect
“strolling garden” in the middle
of the busy centre of London
