    Very enjoyable walk, I love the design in the fancy gate at Earls Court entrance to Holland Park. The Lady of Victory Church is well hidden, but lovely entrance. London is amazing, was there once many years ago. I hope I get to return one day. Thank you for your videos.

    Winter walk, a bit sad but winter is not the happiest season!!.
    A garden that I will look at in another season, as I have seen that a promenade exists with warmer weather.
    A beautiful Japanese garden too.
    A relaxing walk.
    Thank you WW

    Great video, memories of staying at the Holland House Youth Hostel for 2 weeks in February 1990. Found 3 logos, 2 on brick walls in Holland Park and 1 on a white wall at the end of Melbury Road...didn't find the fourth one.

    Great to see Holland park. Brought back many memories. Interesting point: As you came out of the park onto Ilchester Place the huge detached house on your right (behind the long wall) once belonged to the infamous film director Michael Winner and now belongs to Robbie Williams. Bet it set him back a bob or two...
