Our home and neighborhood in Holland Park
#8 Queensdale Place - our home away from home. We moved in on July 12, 2010.
How much is that doggie in the window?
The brightly painted doors on our street. Ours is black!
St. James Norlands Church
We don't have a car so rely on walking and public transportation, which is very efficient in London. Here is our local "tube" station. It's about a 12 minute walk from our home.
We really have most everything we need within a short walk from us, including this bakery. There's also a vegetable market, a small grocery store, a dry cleaners, a card shop and several restaurants. Pretty self-contained for just one little street!
I can barely walk by Daunt Books without poking my head in for a browse.
The owner of Lidgate's is the fourth generation of his family to run this 150 year old business.
And yet another bakery. People love to sit out front and watch the world go by as they drink their morning coffee and afternoon tea.
This is an awesome cheese shop.
This ice-cream shop, Gelato Mio, is a little TOO close to home. It's delicious!
And last, but not least, every neighborhood has at least one pub!
