Holland Park is a place in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in central London.
The name originates from a park roughly bordered by Holland Park Avenue to the north and Kensington High Street to the south with Abbotsbury Road and Campden Hill Road bordering it to the west and east. The green-roofed Commonwealth Institute lies to the south. Among other things the park contains a famous Orangery, a cricket pitch, tennis courts, a Japanese garden, a Youth Hostel, children's playgrounds, squirrels and (impressively for a London park) peacocks. Inside Holland Park is Holland House. Today the remains form a backdrop for the open air Holland Park Theatre, which is also the home of Opera Holland Park (http://www.operahollandpark.com)
