There’s something going on at Holland Park, one of London’s most sophisticated parks nestled in amongst the rich and famous between Kensington and Notting Hill. Historically a park for the gentry, it has roots as the former grounds of Cope Castle, a Jacobean mansion. It was famous for its formal gardens, parkland and architecture. Today it could serve as a metaphor for our societal transition to the wider, multi-cultured population establishing itself across West London. It is slowly transitioning to a wilder, more diverse and open park.
