Holland Park

Description

Holland Park is one of the most romantic and peaceful parks of West London. The northern half or so of the park is semi-wild woodland. The central section around the ruins of Holland House is more formal with several garden areas, and the southernmost section is used for sport. The remains of the house form a backdrop for the open air Holland Park Theatre. The Commonwealth Institute lies to the south. The park contains an orangery, a giant chess set, a cricket pitch, tennis courts, a Japanese garden, a youth hostel, a children's playgrounds, squirrels and peacocks.
