Holland Street runs west off Kensington Church Street and comprises a variety of attractive Georgian and early Victorian houses together with a small collection of shops and the renowned Elephant & Castle pub.

Holland Street is perfectly situated across Kensington Church Street from the passage which leads through to Kensington Gardens; it is approximately 5 minutes walk from High Street Kensington Underground, and within easy walking distance of a wide range of shops.
