Holland Park – 8 Quirky Facts

In the beginning…
The area gets its name from Holland House, a grand Jacobean mansion with extensive grounds built in 1605 for Sir Walter Cope. The house was destroyed by bombing during WWII but the park can still be enjoyed, the ruins frame an open air theatre where opera is performed throughout the summer.
Absolutely Fabulous Residents
The house attracted a great many dignitaries, in particular writers. Former guests have included Benjamin Disraeli, Charles Dickens, Sir Walter Scot and Lord Byron. TV’s Edina Monsoon (of Ab-Fab fame) lived in a house in Holland Park sweetie darling.
‘er Next Door
Holland Park still has some famous faces you might see swapping gardening tips or banana bread recipes on their doorsteps. Local homeowners have included David & Victoria Beckham, Simon Cowell, Elton John & David Furnish, Jimmy Page, Robbie Williams, Agatha Christie, Richard Harris and James Joyce.
Noisy Neighbours
It’s not all borrowed cups of sugar and happy families though, even in ‘Millionaires Row’. Jimmy Page (who gazumped David Bowie when buying his mansion) and Robbie Williams have had a rather public falling out over renovation work at Robbie’s gaff. The Led Zeppelin guitarist blocked planning permission for Robbie and his wife Ayda Field to build a basement, as Page feared vibrations might damage his property. He’s clearly never lived in a flat underneath someone playing Dark Side of the Moon on repeat at full volume!
Turning Japanese
One of the highlights of the park is the Kyoto Garden. A gift from the Japanese government in 1991 to celebrate trade and friendship, the peaceful garden is a full replica of a Japanese style garden complete with red Japanese maple trees and peacocks strutting their stuff. It’s a riot of colour and particularly spectacular in autumn.
Nearly Kensington
William III was looking for a new der-res to help alleviate his asthma, which he believed was exacerbated by the damp conditions of living close to the river at the Palace of Whitehall. He spent some time in Hampton Court while looking for his new home and moved to Holland House, which had once been called ‘Cope Castle’, for three weeks (try before you buy?) before settling on Kensington Palace as his new home instead.
Still Rock & Roll To Me
Along with the famous music stars living here, Lansdown Road is home to a famous recording studio where John Lennon, The Dave Clark Five, The Animals, Shirley Bassey, Queen and The Sex Pistols all recorded tracks.
Stand & Deliver!
Holland Park Avenue was once a happy hunting ground for highwaymen. At a time when it was a leafy area leading in and out of London, ‘gentlemen robbers’ found rich pickings requiring wealthier travellers to employ guards to protect them. Today the bandits are long gone, unless you buy a coffee and slice of walnut cake from the chain of well-known coffee shops that can be found in the area, in which case, “Daylight robbery!”.
