Holland Park is open daily from 7.30am in summer and 8am in winter until 30 minutes before dusk. For more, click here.
The gardens would be even nicer if some parents read the _many_ signs about it being a place for peace and tranquillity as opposed to a place for kids to scream and run on the grass.
