Holland Walk

Holland Walk is a public footpath along the side of Holland Park in Kensington, and it has been known as a gay cruising spot for years. It runs next to expensive housing and is used by commuters and dog walkers, so complaints and patrols happen. Recent first-hand reports are sparse, so treat this listing with some caution. Cruising itself is not a crime in England, but sex where the public can see it can lead to arrest for outraging public decency or exposure, and in a public toilet it is a specific offence. Robberies and homophobic attacks on men in London parks do happen. Keep your phone charged, carry little, tell a friend where you are, and report incidents to the police or to Galop, the LGBTQ+ anti-violence charity.
