Holland is an electoral ward in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in west London, centred on the leafy residential area around Holland Park. It features a mix of grand Victorian terraces, mansion blocks and garden squares alongside smaller pockets of post‑war housing, giving it a compact but varied urban character.
The ward takes its name from Holland House, the partly ruined historic mansion set in Holland Park, which also contains the celebrated Kyoto Garden and hosts the summer performances of Opera Holland Park. High property values and an international, creative population tie the area socially and culturally to neighbouring Notting Hill and Kensington, while the park and local boutiques maintain a strong village‑like feel.
