About YHA London Holland House

Feel the history in the heart of elegant Holland Park. One wing of the hostel is a former Jacobean mansion, built in 1607 for Sir Walter Cope, Chancellor of the Exchequer for James I. In the 19th century, Lady Holland had a salon here, attended by such famous names as Sheridan, Sir Walter Scott, Lord Byron, Wordsworth and Dickens.

It now offers large, comfortable rooms that overlook the park and is adjacent to the open air theatre. We are located just off Kensington High Street, close to the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Palace, and the main museums are all within walking distance.

We offer some 6-8 bedded rooms, but mostly 12-20 bedded rooms. Meals available include breakfast, picnic lunch and evening meal. Evening meal served from 5pm.

Our place is ideal for those interested in visiting museums.
