One of the most beautiful and undiscovered parks in London. I've been coming here since i was a child, as i grew up near. Wild peacocks, Japanese gardens, sports field, playground and more. Love it!

Beautiful park that's always changing colours throughout the 4 seasons! The wisteria absolutely gorgeous during spring and the maple trees displaying gorgeous colours in autumn. Check out the koi too!

If you need much-deserved break from chaos, get lost here. It's absolutely beautiful. Filled w/wild and human life but it's so serene. There's a Japanese garden, large-scale art, preschool, cafe, etc

It was the most tranquille place in London. Wonderful for jogging or have a romantic walk with your special one. I was lost in time during my visit. Have break in the bussiest city

A really charming place (kyoto garden, french gardens, big playing area for children) in the center of the city, don't miss it if you are going near portobello road or queensway/hide park.

Beautiful Japanese Gardens and Dutch style labirinth-like park; extensive playground for kids from 3 to 12; includes a restaurant which is quite upscale for a spot like this. Pretty amazing.
Ross CookFebruary 24, 2016
Very well looked after park. Great little Japanese Garden area that is good for some quiet time but also areas to play in (including tennis courts). Keep an eye out for the peacocks!

I absolutely love this park, especially the Kyoto Garden! Much calmer than other places in London, it's a true oasis and beautiful throughout the seasons. Read more

The park is not is big as Hyde Park, but the place is really beautiful and relaxing as well. There are a lot of people sunbathing. There is also an interesting chess thing that you can play.

Kids favorite now quite and cozy with many wandering peacocks, feed them nuts or duck food .
VivianMarch 30, 2015
Lovely park especially when it's covered by green and splash of colors. Peacock, squirrels, and the kyoto garden is a must. Good alternative to hyde park in west London.
GeorgeAugust 2, 2015
One of the best places for summer stroll in London. Not your average wide-open-spaces type park; more like lots of small hedged gardens to explore - and there are peacocks!

It is the perfect place to find peace in london.Don't forget to go to kyoto garden, and find yourself in the middle of japanese tradition. Stop by the cafe and give yourself a joyful break.

Better than Regent's or Hyde Park! Holland Park is a little bit hidden from the city but hides incredible gardens and restaurants to go and have a nice time
DolinaAugust 7, 2014
Loved the Kyoto Gardens sadly some parents did not get the concept of a peace garden letting their run around instead of taking them to the child friendly park play area
SerraduraMarch 7, 2015
Beautiful park with several garden areas including a Japanese garden. Many curious squirrels and beautiful peacocks around.
Liz DMay 25, 2018
Lovely park. Small enough to see within a short amount of time, with peacocks and friendly, photogenic squirrels :) The Kyoto Garden is beautiful as well.
Pilar PedrinelliMarch 17, 2013
I find it hard to leave a tip, but i'll try. Come over in autumn and be sure to have time to lost yourself.It's magical, from the leaves on the ground till the sounds all around. I left my heart here.

Beautiful place for walking. A little bit dirty as for London, but it’s not a huge problem.
Elias GerstmayrJune 17, 2017
A true green gem in the midst of London. There is always something new to discover, the Kyoto gardens with the peacocks are a must see

You can have a picnic or take long walks in this quiet park full of squirrels.
Raul Rodriguez-JacomeJuly 6, 2011
No tourists, few people, great to run/walk in the morning through a "tree tunnel" or simply sit to enjoy the silence. A forest in the middle of the city. Highly recommended
Lesego MosehlaAugust 18, 2014
The park helped me clear my thoughts in peace. And i walked around the whole park and loved getting lost in it

Wonderful park, good for relaxing and chilling outdoor
Nilson RogérioMarch 6, 2015
A hidden gem in Central London (from tourists, not West Londoners) - which makes it a even more special place.
Juan Antonio PoloJanuary 12, 2013
Don't forget to visit the Kyoto Garden. A Japanese oasis in the middle of London
AlistairJune 28, 2015
The Japanese garden is small, but lovely, as are the gardens by the hostel. In fact, the whole park is rather nice.

"Did I see a peacock?” Yes, if you are in Holland Park, it is very normal to see peacocks. They are the hosts of the park. Read more

This was once the grounds of Holland House, famous for its literary salons in the early 1800s and for its lavish society balls later in the century. The house was destroyed in the Blitz.
