The Kyoto Garden is a tranquil Japanese garden located inside Holland Park in West London. It was opened in 1991 as a gift from the city of Kyoto to commemorate the long friendship between Japan and Great Britain.
Key features:
Waterfall & Pond
Stone Lanterns & Bridges: Traditional Japanese ornaments like stone lanterns, stepping stones, and bridges are placed thoughtfully to guide visitors through the garden.
Japanese Maple & cherry trees
Peacocks & Wildlife: The wider Holland Park is home to peacocks that occasionally wander into the garden, adding to its charm.
Zen Atmosphere: The layout emphasizes balance—carefully placed rocks, flowing water, and landscaped greenery together create a meditative space.
A hidden gem in busy London—small, but beautifully crafted, peaceful, almost otherworldly setting.
