The Japanese or Kyoto Garden is a fenced garden within the much larger Holland Park. Even in February (the coldest month in London), it is worth a visit if you are in the area. Very atmospheric - and a great place for photos!

Small but beautiful and very peaceful. Visited on a weekday morning during school holidays. Loved the fact you have to walk to the garden which makes it a haven away from traffic. Waterfall with resident heron. Lovely Japanese design-well worth a visit. Nice cafe nearby.

Such a wonderful surprise! After looking online for things to do outdoors in London we decided to visit Holland Park, in particular the Kyoto Gardens. Absolutely beautiful! Wonderful sculptures, water fountains, huge fish and other wildlife, flowers, trees - simply a perfect garden in the middle of London! We had planned to visit Notting Hill afterwards as it is one stop away on the tube but Holland Park is so enormous we ran out of time. What a great way to spend a sunny day!

A tranquil oasis that transports visitors to the serenity of Japanese landscapes. The carefully curated garden features traditional elements like a cascading waterfall, vibrant koi ponds, and meticulously pruned Japanese maple trees. The peaceful atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for reflection and relaxation. While relatively small, the attention to detail and harmonious design create a captivating escape from the bustling city surroundings. The presence of peacocks adds an unexpected touch of wildlife to the experience. Kyoto Garden is a hidden gem for those seeking a moment of Zen in the heart of London. Restrooms There were several restrooms that were around and easier to find. It was quite a good feature given that not all public parks have a toilet available Dog-friendliness There were many owners and dogs walking through that seemed to be contempt with everything. The area did have dedicated areas for dogs only should they wish to dedicate or stay for a longer period of time. Picnic area There was more than enough spaces with quite the breathtaking view to just sit down, relax, take in the view and enjoy a meal. I would definitely recommend to friends, couples and families looking to have a nice day out in good weather,
