Holland Road Kensington London W14 is a prominent residential road situated in the district of Holland Park within The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. This partly tree lined boulevard runs roughly North - South and is characterised by its imposing splendid period Victorian architecture. Most of the terraced town houses are 4 or 5 storeys high and feature either painted Italianate stucco or ornate brick facades and retain numerous original features. As with many such very large Kensington townhouses constructed in the 1870s, most of the houses have since been converted into spacious and much sought after self-contained apartments.

Part of the southern stretch of the Road, between 40 and 94 is also within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Holland Conservation area. The architectural style adopted in construction is particularly notable and worthy of preservation because the terrace is essentially classical in its proportions, whilst being Gothic in its ornamentation.

Holland Road is especially well served by public transport (zone 2) with Holland Park, Shepherds Bush, Kensington Olympia and High Street Kensington train stations within easy walking distance as well as numerous bus routes passing along the road.
