Holland Park
Today I took a guided tour of Holland Park, a section of London just west of Kensington and Notting Hill. It's fairly upscale, in the tv show, As Time Goes By, they live in Holland Park. There is actually a Holland Park, named for the family that owned the area. Their house, Holland House is in the park, although it was badly damaged when it took a direct hit in WWII. It was mistaken for Kensington Palace.
A typical street in Holland Park Village
The only still standing part of Holland House, it is now a youth hostel
The bombed portion of the house
A hill of daffodils in the park (Global warming is causing all the flowers to bloom early!!)
The Japanese Garden in Holland Park
Statue to the third Lord Holland
Tower House, built in the late 1800s, now owned by the lead guitarist of Led Zepplin
