HOLLAND PARK

Japanese discipline is in congress with Italianate flamboyance in this English garden, in which box, privet and pots with herbs shape spaces into individual rooms, bringing the aromatic essence of the house into the garden - and vice versa. Beyond is an extraordinary Orangery, with a forty foot indoor pool - and a floor which, in a 17th century conceit, mirrors the back of the house. A garden to revel in, for its wit and its very own richness.
