    Great Place for Photos!
    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!

    Little bit of Peace
    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.

    How could I possibly not know this existed!
    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!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful Japanese garden tucked away in the middle of London. Not large, but so peaceful and tranquil - make time to see it!

Lovely Japanese garden within Holland Park tranquil & peaceful but tiny! Took couple minutes to walk around, fine if you are in the area but not worth a special journey.
A good 15 minute walk from Holland Park tube.

This garden is beautifully cared for and very popular in the lovely Holland Park. It is also full of appreciating Japanese tourists. I enjoyed the garden a lot.

I think the garden is beautiful and unique looking, it’s just a shame it’s so tiny and takes like 10 mins to see.

It was a lovely park, peaceful and not at all busy. I was surprised at how big Holland Park was as a whole, lo Ely place to visit alone or with family
