Holland Park Playground is the largest park in Kensington and Chelsea and provides a high-quality play experience that links to the nature abundant, woodland surroundings.
 
Within the park is Kyoto Garden, donated by the Chamber of Commerce of Kyoto in 1991. The design is inspired by two principles of Japanese garden theory: Dry Mountain Water and Borrowing-View. It borrows from the character of the surrounding woodlands and maximizes the interest and play value of the existing topography whilst integrating Holland Park’s water run-off, which presented a flood risk to lower residential properties.
