About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
Holland Park's leafy northern edge borders this junction of Holland Road and Addison Crescent, a quieter and more residential stretch than the borough's busier shopping streets, though it still carries meaningful through-traffic between Kensington and Shepherd's Bush. Dog walkers heading into Holland Park itself add a gentle, steady pedestrian presence that gives this stretch a genuinely different feel to busier Kensington streets.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
Generally lighter and steadier traffic holds here than the retail-driven congestion found closer to Kensington High Street, with peaks following the standard commuter pattern and a genuinely quiet midday lull typical of this more residential part of the borough, rarely disrupted by anything beyond ordinary local traffic. Weekend mornings bring a small trickle of dog walkers and joggers heading into Holland Park itself, rarely enough to affect traffic, and the genuinely light footfall here keeps the risk of a pedestrian accident claim low compared with busier Kensington streets.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
Standard residential speed enforcement applies along this stretch, with camera coverage aimed at maintaining steady flow between Holland Park and the busier West Cross Route without encouraging rat-running through the surrounding streets nearby. reflecting the quiet, largely residential character of this part of the borough.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
Holland Park's side streets give residents several options for short local journeys, meaning a blockage here rarely forces the kind of long detour seen on busier borough roads. Local residents here rarely need to think about alternatives, given how reliably quiet this stretch runs outside the standard commuter hours. Most locals wouldn't think twice about finding one, given how rarely this stretch causes any real delay.
Driver Safety & Local Tips

ULEZ & Emissions
Kensington and Chelsea has been fully inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone since its London-wide expansion in August 2023, with the £12.50 daily charge operating 24/7 across the whole borough. Check your vehicle's compliance at tfl.gov.uk/ulez before travelling, since much of the borough also sits within the Congestion Charge zone.
Parking near Holland Rd/Addison Crescent, Hammersmith
Holland Park's quieter residential streets near Holland Road generally have a little more available on-street parking than central Kensington, though an RBKC CPZ still applies, typically Monday to Saturday with meters via the council app or PayByPhone. This remains one of London's pricier boroughs for parking regardless of location. Single yellow lines restrict stopping only during controlled hours. Holland Park itself has no dedicated visitor car park, so weekend park visitors should expect to search nearby streets or use public transport instead. Full CPZ details and PCN appeal information: rbkc.gov.uk/parking. Holland Park itself draws enough weekend visitor traffic to noticeably tighten nearby residential parking.
If on-street parking is hard to find, apps like JustPark and YourParkingSpace let you pre-book a private driveway or car park nearby — typically from around £2–£6 per hour or £10–£25 per day depending on how central the location is.
