Holland Park

The elegance of Holland Park is rooted in its grandiose period properties and eponymous green space, complemented by a welcoming family-friendly community.

This is West London’s most sophisticated neighbourhood, with the 54-acre public gardens at its heart. Holland Park boasts an array of soaring heritage townhouses, many of which are listed and feel akin to the Regency crescents found in Bath. These stucco-fronted buildings are arranged around well-manicured garden squares, kept for the exclusive use of homeowners. Interspersed between the historic streets are mews enclaves that once served as stables and garages for the larger residencies; today, they’re an appealing option for individuals and growing families.

Holland Park Avenue is the central artery of the area, lined with cafés, delicatessens, shops and local pubs. At one end, find a little cluster of independent boutiques along the semi-pedestrianised Clarendon Cross. As for the park itself, it boasts enormous lengths of green space which meet some of London’s most varied cultural spots: the Design and Leighton House Museums, Open Air Opera House and Kyoto Japanese Gardens.

Eat & Drink

Julie’s

This legendary West London brasserie has been a neighbourhood favourite since the 1960s. With an extensive refurbishment by interior designer Rosanna Bossom, the restaurant is set for a new generation of locals. Headed by Cordon Bleu-trained chef Tara MacBain, who joined forces with The Pelican’s Owen Kenworthy, their menu is nostalgic for Julie’s glamorous past — think seafood towers and tableside martini trolleys. All this culinary innovation is backdropped by romantic live piano music.

Six Portland Road

It’s refreshing to see classic food crafted to perfection, which is the case with Six Portland Road’s sophisticated menu. With its unassuming interior design — pale shiplap walls, crisp white tablecloths and wooden chairs — all attention is directed to the food. It’s modern British with allusions to wider European cuisine, the dishes being continually updated throughout the year to showcase the best of each season.

Casa Cruz

The ultimate dining experience, Casa Cruz impresses right from the copper front door. With a soundtrack of jazzy funk, a signature scent to compliment the flavourful menu and decor compiled of gilded mirrored panels, it’s a sumptuous dining environment. Once seated, smokey Argentinian steaks and fresh seafood pull focus. In the summertime, there’s a leafy terrace tailor-made for cocktails.

Holland Park Cafe

Long strolls are made all the more enjoyable with the promise of coffee and cake. Holland Park Cafe is perfectly positioned in the centre of the park, overlooking the beautiful Dutch gardens. When the weather’s sunny, you can sit in the shade of the building’s red brick arches.

Belvedere

Found in the centre of Holland Park, Belvedere has a rich history. From a coach house in the 1600s to a 19th-century ballroom, the spacious building bears witness to London’s social gatherings of old and new. The modern restaurant takes design cues from Tuscan architecture, featuring a two-storey dining room colonnade that overlooks the park. Working with small village suppliers across the Mediterranean, the chefs have crafted a menu that celebrates authentic Italian cuisine.

Buns From Home

One of London’s most talked-about bakeries in recent years, Buns From Home welcomes in customers from the street with its buttery scent of baked goods. The interiors are pared-back, letting the countertop of artisanal buns capture your attention. From classic flavours such as cinnamon to weekly specials and savoury brunch-style buns, there’s an indulgent treat for everyone.

'As for the park itself, it boasts enormous lengths of green space which meet some of London’s most varied cultural spots.'

See & Do

Holland Park

With its winding pathways, mature trees and long stretches of lawn, Holland Park is a calming sanctuary in the city. The expansive grounds are split between a series of smaller gardens: the Kyoto Gardens is focused around a koi pond, complete with a cascading waterfall, Japanese maple trees and roaming peacocks; by contrast, the Dutch gardens have geometric precision, laid with rows of bright tulips in spring and fragrant roses in summer. A host of Victorian murals are dotted throughout the park, speaking to a bygone era of the capital.

It’s a public space created to draw connections between humans and human creation.

See & Do

Piano Noble

There’s a scholarly and aesthetically refined approach to the curated artwork at Piano Noble, a family-run gallery specialising in twentieth-century British and international pieces. Taking its name from the Italian phrase ‘Piano Nobile’ (the principal floor of a palazzo which showcases premium artwork), it’s an homage to the family’s original gallery in Rome. Their team works closely with leading museums across Europe and the U.S, as well as private clients who trust them with the sourcing of exceptional art.
