Some of London's biggest and grandest houses are found in these leafy avenues. Bordering its own charming Park, it is situated on the Central line for quick access to the City. The residents love the real butchers and the delicatessens and the general oasis of peace and charm that the area affords. Its a walk up the hill to Notting Hill and Portobello market  if it gets too peaceful.

DID YOU KNOW there is a Japanese garden in Holland Park itself, opened in 1991 to celebrate the Japanese Festival?
