LAST UPDATED: 6th JUNE 2026
Leafy, discreet and home to some of London’s most impressive houses, Holland Park offers a very different experience from the busier neighbourhoods of Central London. Grand tree-lined streets, beautiful architecture and the park itself give the area a sense of space and privacy that is difficult to find this close to the centre of the city.
What Makes Holland Park Special?
The defining feature is undoubtedly Holland Park itself, with more than 50 acres of woodland, gardens and open space at the heart of the neighbourhood. Around it are some exceptionally attractive residential streets, including Holland Park, Addison Road and the streets of the Phillimore Estate.
The atmosphere is sophisticated but understated. Kensington, Notting Hill and Westbourne Grove are close by, yet much of Holland Park feels remarkably secluded and residential.
What Kind of Property Can You Buy?
Holland Park is particularly renowned for its substantial Victorian villas and handsome stucco-fronted houses, many with generous gardens and considerably more space than you would expect in Central London.
There is also a good apartment market, including period conversions, mansion flats, garden apartments and contemporary developments. At the upper end, buyers will find exceptional family houses with large gardens, lateral living space and, occasionally, off-street parking - all significant rarities in prime London.
What your Budget Buys in Holland Park
As a broad guide as at June 2026, good apartments typically command around £1,300–£1,800+ per sq ft, while the best houses and exceptional properties can reach £2,200–£3,000+ per sq ft.
Around £1m can buy a good one-bedroom apartment or smaller two-bedroom property. £1.5m–£2.5m brings a much stronger choice of two- and three-bedroom apartments, while £3m–£5m opens up larger apartments, maisonettes and some smaller houses. Holland Park’s finest family houses occupy another level entirely, with prices frequently running well into eight figures.

Why overseas buyers choose Holland Park
Life here is noticeably calmer than in Mayfair or Fitzrovia. The park provides wonderful space for walking and recreation, while Holland Park Avenue offers useful everyday shops, cafés and restaurants.
Nearby Notting Hill and Westbourne Grove provide a much wider choice of restaurants and boutiques, while Kensington High Street is within easy reach. This gives residents the advantage of having lively neighbourhoods nearby without necessarily living amongst them.
How Well Connected is it?
Holland Park Underground station is on the Central line, providing direct connections to Bond Street, Oxford Circus and the City. Notting Hill Gate is also nearby, adding access to the District and Circle lines.
For international owners, Heathrow can be reached via the Elizabeth line from Paddington or by road, with its western location making airport journeys relatively straightforward.
Is Holland Park Right For You?
Holland Park is particularly well suited to buyers who value space, privacy and greenery but still want to be firmly within prime London.
It's an excellent choice for families and buyers seeking a substantial London home, but also works well for overseas owners wanting a more peaceful pied-à-terre. For North American buyers accustomed to larger homes, gardens and leafy residential streets, Holland Park can offer a particularly appealing interpretation of London living.
