Kyoto Garden, Holland Park, London

Garden with colourful plants, shrubs and water features, created by eminent Japanese designer Shoji Nakahara in 1991 as part of the Japan Festival.

 

Perfectly manicured, the landscape garden’s waterfall quietly trickling is the only background noise you’ll hear. It’s easy to see why it made the list of most beautiful places in London.

 

The three-step waterfall symbolises mountains and deep gorges while the large pond depicts a vast ocean – a natural landscape in miniature form.

 

Traditional Japanese garden elements such as stone lanterns (Toro) and a stone wash basin (Tsukubai) are also present.
