LONDON WALK | Holland Park incl. Beautiful Kyoto Garden | England
A first-person perspective London walk tour of Holland Park, including the Kyoto Garden.
Experience all of the sights and sounds as Watched Walker (yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person!) takes us on a walking tour through the streets of London, featuring Holland Park. The route begins at the north entrance to Holland Park, moving through the park, ending at the Kyoto Garden.
Sights seen along the tour include Lord Holland Memorial, formal gardens, Opera Holland Park, The Orangery, The Belvedere, 'Annunciation' sculpture by Andrew Burton, Fukushima Memorial Garden, and the Kyoto Garden, including a decorative pond with koi carp.
And in each video I've hidden a blinking eye, can you spot it? (It could appear more than once). In addition to the blinking eye, I've also added the Watched Walker logo to various scenes–it could be on buildings, vehicles or any other objects, so keep an eye out for it too!
Footage recorded May 2017.

The London School of English - Holland Park Garden centre
- Both of our English schools in London are in excellent locations -- close to the centre of London, but just far enough away from the busy centre to give both sites a relaxed feel.
Our business and professional centre at Holland Park Gardens is located in one of the best residential areas in London. The school is set in a fine traditional building in a beautiful part of Kensington, just 10 minutes' walk from fashionable Notting Hill.
Although the area is quiet and green, it is less than 15 minutes away from Oxford Street by underground. And just 5 minutes' walk away from the school is one of Europe's largest inner-city shopping centres, the Westfield London Shopping Centre, with 265 shops offering thousands of leading brands including Tiffany & Co., Kurt Geiger, Versace, Louis Vuitton, DeBeers (but also plenty of more affordable brands!)
60 opera singers raise the roof of shopping centre with chorus from Verdi's Aida
Finale from Act II of Verdi's Aida performed live by the Chorus of Opera North and trumpets of the Orchestra of Opera North under conductor Oliver Rundell in Trinity Leeds, UK, May 2019.

The Kyoto Garden is a Japanese Garden situated in Holland Park, London.
Stunning little Japanese garden in London with wild animals
This is my second time visiting this gorgeous park, third visit in London
London the Kyoto or Japanese gardens at Holland Park: Let's visit the area of Holland Park in London which boasts the peaceful Kyoto Garden, which is like a tiny pocket of Japan inside an English setting. The garden was opened in 1991 as a gift from Kyoto to commemorate the long friendship between Japan and Great Britain.
The garden is carefully designed to reflect key traits of Japanese gardens, including stone lanterns, tiered waterfalls and plenty of fish. The crashing water is occasionally mixed with the squawks of peacocks who wander around the park.
Holland Park is 22 hectares (54 acres). It features a fragmentary ruin Holland House which was devastated in the Second World War in 1940. In 1952, it was bought by the 6th Earl of Ilchester.
Holland Park is about 22 hectares (54 acres) in area. The northern half of the park is semi-wild woodland, the central section around the ruins of Holland House is more formal with several garden areas, and the southernmost section is used for sport.
Holland House is now a fragmentary ruin, having been devastated by incendiary bombing during the Second World War in 1940, but the ruins and the grounds were bought by London County Council in 1952 from the last private owner, the 6th Earl of Ilchester.
Today the remains of the house form a backdrop for the open air Holland Park Theatre, which is the home of Opera Holland Park. The green-roofed Commonwealth Institute lies to the south.
The park contains a cafe as well as the Belvedere Restaurant that is attached to the orangery, a giant chess set, a cricket pitch, tennis courts, two Japanese gardens - the Kyoto Garden (1991) and Fukushima Memorial Garden (2012), a youth hostel, a children's playground, squirrels and peacocks.
In 2010, the park set aside a section for pigs whose job was to reclaim the area from nettles etc., in order to create another meadow area for wild flowers and fauna. Cattle were used subsequently to similar effect.
The Holland Park Ecology Centre (2013), operated by the borough's Ecology Service, offers environmental education programs including nature walks, talks, programs for schools and outdoor activity programs for children.
The district was rural until the 19th century. Most of it was formerly the grounds of a Jacobean mansion called Holland House. In the later decades of that century the owners of the house sold off the more outlying parts of its grounds for residential development, and the district which evolved took its name from the house.
It also included some small areas around the fringes which had never been part of the grounds of Holland House, notably the Phillimore Estate (there are at least four roads with the word Phillimore in their name) and the Campden Hill Square area. In the late 19th century a number of notable artists (including Frederic Leighton, P.R.A. and Val Prinsep) and art collectors lived in the area.
The group were collectively known as The Holland Park Circle. Holland Park was for the most part very comfortably upper middle class when originally developed and in recent decades has gone further upmarket.
Of the nineteenth-century residential developments of the area, one of the most architecturally interesting is The Royal Crescent designed in 1839.
Clearly inspired by its older namesake in Bath, it differs from the Bath crescent in that it is not a true crescent at all but two quadrant terraces each terminated by a circular bow in the Regency style which rises as a tower, a feature which would not have been found in the earlier classically inspired architecture of the eighteenth century which the design of the crescent seeks to emulate.
The design of the Royal Crescent by the planner Robert Cantwell in two halves was dictated by the location of the newly fashionable underground sewers rather than any consideration for architectural aesthetics.

Mirrors Project at Opera Holland Park
‘Mirrors’ is the third project Opera Holland Park has held with the Adult Day Services in RBKC and LBHF. Weekly workshops were delivered at both day centres, followed by a series of joint workshop sessions which saw both teams coming together to share their ideas and work together at a performance on 2nd December.
The aim of the project was to create an immersive and interactive show by and for people with Multiple Learning Disabilities and the people working with them - celebrating the innate creativity within everyone and uniting everybody involved in a creative process. The final performance was devised as a show that could encompass the unpredictability of circumstance, such as working with a different group of people in each workshop, inviting someone new into the project, developing work already written with a view to including people with limited or no verbal ability. The project allowed over 50 people to take part regardless of level of perceived ability.
Over ten weeks, workshop leader Abigail Sudbury and composer David Keefe worked with each group bringing in different aspects of music based around the theme of exploring the other side of a mirror where they discovered the jungle and the ocean. The final performance used both themes and brought in the sights, sounds and movements found in these environments.
