The Victorian and Edwardian periods had a profound effect on West London in so many aspects. Taking a stroll around the Holland Park neighbourhood is a wonderful way of experiencing how much it has altered the built environment here, with the remaining architecture telling its own story of an area created for residential purposes with eye-catching style as standard. These eras worked in a similar manner for lifestyles and amenities, often commandeering any available space for entertainment and leisure activities that the population were expressing interest in and needed the appropriate facilities for.
