Holland Park is a small but very cosy park in the western part of London. It was established in the early 17th century. Its area is 22.5 hectares. The park is open daily from 7:30 am until dawn. It is located 900 meters away from the Holland Park tube station on Central Line.

There are several entrances to the park; this one is the closest to the station.

The Kensington & Chelsea area is famous for not only good views but also high prices for real estate. A two-bedroom property will cost you around £1 million.

Right off the bat, the park seemed quite small and unremarkable. However, it turned out to be quite spacious.

Kyoto Garden is a Japanese-style garden founded by the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce in 1991 as part of Japanese Festival in London.

Bonsai trees in the garden are well maintained, there are about ten of them.

The walk around Holland Park will take about two hours. This is a great place, which I highly recommend for visiting.
