    Beautiful, peaceful enclave in the middle of the lovely Holland Park. Avoid the Pokemon crowd (if you're reading this after 2016, Pokemon Go was a trendy game that year) and find the peacocks.

    This Japanese garden in Holland Park is an oasis of tranquility. There is a pond filled with koi and a rock garden complete with waterfall. Great place to escape to.

    A place for turning into yourself and touch your soul with this beautifully decorated memorial park... also don't forget to have some peanuts for the squirrels in your pockets...🖖🏻

    Mmm, not so peaceful, quiet and relaxing during the school holidays. This beautiful Japanese garden appears to be yet another playground for children to run around and play in unfortunately.

    Amazingly peaceful garden but unfortunately only during the weekdays. Has become very popular lately for weekend strolling (families & tourists).

    Beautiful scenery. Fresh air. Pokemon Go is phohibited in this garden as a sign of respect of those who lost their lives in the Kyoto tragedy

    Lovely place to visit, I think it's better on weekdays than on the weekend due to overcrowding.

    Lovely place to contemplate and be quiet. Signs everywhere saying "Do not step on grass" so please respect the signs and other admirers of this little gem. And yes, no mobile phones or cigarettes too.

    Pretty basic example of a 'Japanese garden'. It's barely a few rocks and a stream, but you take what you can get.
