Guidebook for London
Parks & Nature
Famous for its peacocks and Japanese Kyoto Garden. Holland Park is my favourite London park because of its unique character, wildlife and different settings. From the Koi Carp in the Kyoto garden to the woodland trails and manicured flower gardens. Even better, it's free! Open during daylight hours, can get busy at peak times on weekends. Toilets, water fountains and cafe on site. Suitable for both running or walking, cycling not allowed. 20 mins walk, 5 mins cycle.
