Hotels near Holland Park

Image of Holland ParkThe Royal Borough’s largest park. It is near Kensington High Street and contains something of interest for everyone. Holland House was built in 1605 for Sir Walter Cope. It was one of the first "great houses" of Kensington, and during England's Civil War it was occupied by Cromwell's army. The house was apparently in its prime in the early 19th century when the hospitality of Henry Fox, 3d Baron Holland, and his wife became famous. The mansion was purchased in the late 18th century by Henry Fox, grandfather of the 3d baron. It became a magnet for English liberals and other distinguished men: the great and good would attend the famous dinners at the house and most ironic and fitting of all is the documented frequency of Sir Walter Scott's attendance. His book, "Bride of Lammermoor" was the basis for Donizetti's opera and it is a work Opera Holland Park have performed at least twice, most recently to breathtaking effect in 2003.
