Holland Park
Holland Park offers a variety of activities for visitors. The park is home to the Holland Park Opera, which runs from May to August every year and the famous Belvedere restaurant, which is nestled in the middle of the park. One of our favourite attractions is the Kyoto Garden, which was a gift from the city of Kyoto to commemorate the long friendship between Japan and Great Britain. The garden embodies traditional Japanese aesthetics, featuring tiered waterfalls and a pond with colorful koi carp.
