Holland Park

  4.0/5 (1 ratings)

Gardenvisit Editorial

The formal gardens and a large area of woodland came into public ownership after Holland House was bombed during the Second World War. The park is now open to the public. Its spatial qualities were analysed by Dame Sylvia Crowe in her book 'Garden Design' (she lived nearby). A Japanese Garden was opened in 1991. Nearby, one can see the Commonwealth Institute with its grounds designed by Dame Sylvia. Flagpoles, an avenue of lime trees, a fine water feature and good paving provide an impressive setting for an international building. The eighteenth century planting by Charles Hamilton has gone.

    i think this garden is of elegant stature and has traces of post war colloniasm what with the use of ovoid semi deciduous plant all presenting a aura if you will of the passion and sicernible grace of londons beautifal garden scene.
