Holland Park is an area of Kensington, on the western edge of Central London, that lies within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and largely surrounds its namesake park, Holland Park.

Holland Park contains some of the most expensive residential streets in London and the United Kingdom, including Addison Road, Holland Villas Road and Ilchester Place. Past and present residents include Sir David and Victoria Beckham, Sir Elton John, David Cameron, Ed Sheeran, Sir Richard Branson, and Robbie Williams, among others. The small neighbourhood is further home to the embassies of several countries, including Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Greece, Jordan, Russia and Lebanon.

The area is principally composed of tree-lined streets with large Victorian mansions and cultural tourist attractions such as the Design Museum and Leighton House, luxury spas, hotels, and restaurants along Holland Park Avenue and Kensington High Street.
