Living in Holland Park

The 55-acre area now known as Holland Park was once the grounds of Cope Castle, a large Jacobean mansion. Now the area is home to a massive woodland area, a Japanese zen garden, a waterfall and picturesque flower gardens. During the summer months, the Holland Park Theatre is erected at the centre of the park to host outdoor opera performances.

Visit the world's leading museum devoted to contemporary design in every form from architecture and fashion to graphics, product and industrial design. The museum’s collection is an important record of the key designs that have shaped the modern world. It tells the history of mass production, from the manufacturing innovations of the nineteenth century up to the digital revolution of the last few years.

Just a short walk from Holland Park you’ll find Kensington High Street, a major thoroughfare running from Hammersmith straight through to Kensington Gardens. The street features a wide variety of brand name stores and shops with several cafés dotted along the street. Sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the high street, leafy Kensington Church Street is where you’ll find higher end British brands, such as Sweaty Betty and Neal’s Yard Remedies.
