    One of the most beautiful and undiscovered parks in London. I've been coming here since i was a child, as i grew up near. Wild peacocks, Japanese gardens, sports field, playground and more. Love it!

    Beautiful park that's always changing colours throughout the 4 seasons! The wisteria absolutely gorgeous during spring and the maple trees displaying gorgeous colours in autumn. Check out the koi too!

    If you need much-deserved break from chaos, get lost here. It's absolutely beautiful. Filled w/wild and human life but it's so serene. There's a Japanese garden, large-scale art, preschool, cafe, etc

    It was the most tranquille place in London. Wonderful for jogging or have a romantic walk with your special one. I was lost in time during my visit. Have break in the bussiest city

    Amazing. There is a huge playground for kids (4+), one with sand for the little ones. Soccer field, golf driving area, Japanese garden, tennis courts. Fantastic for a sunny day.

    Beautiful Japanese Gardens and Dutch style labirinth-like park; extensive playground for kids from 3 to 12; includes a restaurant which is quite upscale for a spot like this. Pretty amazing.

    A really charming place (kyoto garden, french gardens, big playing area for children) in the center of the city, don't miss it if you are going near portobello road or queensway/hide park.

    Very well looked after park. Great little Japanese Garden area that is good for some quiet time but also areas to play in (including tennis courts). Keep an eye out for the peacocks!

    The park is not is big as Hyde Park, but the place is really beautiful and relaxing as well. There are a lot of people sunbathing. There is also an interesting chess thing that you can play.

    Loved the Kyoto Gardens sadly some parents did not get the concept of a peace garden letting their run around instead of taking them to the child friendly park play area

    I absolutely love this park, especially the Kyoto Garden! Much calmer than other places in London, it's a true oasis and beautiful throughout the seasons. Read more

    One of the best places for summer stroll in London. Not your average wide-open-spaces type park; more like lots of small hedged gardens to explore - and there are peacocks!

    Lovely park especially when it's covered by green and splash of colors. Peacock, squirrels, and the kyoto garden is a must. Good alternative to hyde park in west London.

    Better than Regent's or Hyde Park! Holland Park is a little bit hidden from the city but hides incredible gardens and restaurants to go and have a nice time

    Lovely park. Small enough to see within a short amount of time, with peacocks and friendly, photogenic squirrels :) The Kyoto Garden is beautiful as well.

    No tourists, few people, great to run/walk in the morning through a "tree tunnel" or simply sit to enjoy the silence. A forest in the middle of the city. Highly recommended

    The Japanese garden is small, but lovely, as are the gardens by the hostel. In fact, the whole park is rather nice.

    A hidden gem in Central London (from tourists, not West Londoners) - which makes it a even more special place.
