Take a short walk with me to see the hidden gem which is Holland Park. This park is mainly frequented by the locals, and for good reason. Other London parks are wide open spaces. Holland Park is different. It is wooded, with paths and a variety of different types of space.

See the Kyoto Japanese Garden. Exhibition spaces in the Orangery and the Ice House. A top-class restaurant called the Belvedere. Holland House and the Youth Hostel. Open air opera.

We also visit Melbury Road - an artists colony in Victorian times and home to the Leighton House museum.

This walk should take less than one hour. There are no lengthy pauses on the sound file, when you switch off your MP3 player and explore on your own. The only part is where there is an option to enter a museum. Other than that, you can comfortably complete the walk in the time stated.

It's also an easy walk, mostly away from roads and traffic, with interesting things to admire all along the way.
