Melbury Road is a historic street in Holland Park. Many of its red brick Victorian houses and villas were owned by the ‘Holland Park Circle’, a well-known group of nineteenth-century artists. Its members included the architect William Burges, the sculptors Hamo Thornycroft and George Frederick Watts, and the painter Sir Frederick Leighton.

From here, the open spaces of Holland Park are close. In addition, the restaurants, shops and transport links of Kensington High Street are within easy reach. Kensington Olympia station is also in walking distance.
