Holland Park Avenue

Holland Park Avenue is a street located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in west central London.

Despite being a busy traffic artery, the street is elegantly lined with large well-established plane trees and boasts attractive terraces of large Victorian townhouses, as well as numerous high-end shops and restaurants.

The area was for the most part upper middle class when originally developed and in recent decades has become wealthier.

Holland Park Avenue now forms the main artery for one of the most expensive residential districts in London and anywhere in the world, with large houses regularly listed for sale at well over £10m.
