Holland Park

Park London, United Kingdom

A natural wood crossed by small paths, landscaped gardens around the ruins of Holland House, a magnificent Zen garden where a small waterfall flows into a pond full of carp.

Despite being located in the city centre, upon entering you will seem to feel the peace and quiet that only a Zen garden can convey. The famous Orangery, an elegant building for exhibitions and ceremonies, is surrounded by huge hedges of roses. Also within the park are a giant chess set, a cricket pitch, tennis courts, a youth hostel and one of the best children's playgrounds in the city. You will also be able to see squirrels running on the lawn and peacocks parading in the Zen garden.
