Holland House
2023 Oct 14
Holland House, originally known as Cope Castle, was an early Jacobean country house in Kensington, London, situated in a country estate that is now Holland Park. It was built in 1605 by the diplomat Sir Walter Cope. The house was largely destroyed by German firebombing during the Blitz in 1940 and today only the east wing and some ruins of the ground floor and south facade remain, along with various outbuildings and formal gardens. 📖

The Japanese Garden Island
2023 Sep 30
Attractive landscaped Japanese style garden, with an island accessed by picturesque bridges over the lake. It's located in Queen Mary’s Garden, the area was created in the 1930s and named after the wife of King George V. Amongst the 12,000 roses lies a mysterious mound reminiscent of the Ninomaru Garden (Chiyoda) inside the Imperial Palace East Gardens of Tokyo.
In Japanese gardens, miniature waterfalls represent yin and yang (Onmyōdō) from Buddhist symbolism; two opposites (water and stone) that complement each other. The island also features a Grade II listed building: the bronze Eagle Statue.
