Parks Police
Holland Park is generally a safe place, but we should never be complacent. If you see any antisocial behaviour, such as vandalism, please contact the Parks Police on: 0300 3655 101

Remember three key points:
• Keep yourself out of danger
• Take a description of the person, location and
exactly what they are doing
• Contact the Parks Police and report the facts.
