(This will of necessity be a short post, as I’m completely STARVING. And running late!)
After MOBPA, I took a quick break in a nearby Starbucks. I realise Starbucks is hardly untouristy, but this one had a nice interior.
I then popped over to Holland Park, which was conveniently one stop down on the Central Line. I like old-fashioned tube diagrams like this, so I snapped the one at Holland Park after getting off the train.
I really wanted to incorporate some kind of outdoor space into the itinerary because those I’ve featured thus far – London Fields and Lincoln’s Inn Fields – I kind of stumbled into, and didn’t really spend much time there. So I was very happy that Holland Park fitted in nicely with my post-MOBPA lull.
Holland Park is regarded as one of the most romantic parks in London, due to, in Wikipedia’s words, its “abundant wildlife and secluded hideaways”. There are two Japanese gardens, a famous Orangery, an open-air theatre which has its own resident opera company.
