Holland Lane was a small side street next to the Holland Arms.
A longer Holland Lane once served Holland Farm and the modern Melbury Road followed the course of it. Holland Lane/Melbury Road skirted the front park of Holland House. A lodge had been built on the east side of Holland Lane (on the site of modern 41–45 Melbury Road) in 1864.
Holland Farm had shrunk in area as building activity progressed and by 1854, the farm was sixty-three acres, chiefly pasture. The farmhouse was rebuilt in 1859 (and later became 10A Holland Park Road). The parkland of Holland House provided pasture for the cows when all other available land had been built upon
By the time the estate was sold in 1874, Holland Farm brought in only £112 in rent. In 1875 the farm’s tenants, Edmund Charles Tisdall and Elizabeth Tunks, built a new dairy with a shop and cow-stalls on the island site bounded by Holland Lane, Melbury Road and Kensington High Street. It was demolished in the 1960s.
Also during the 1960s, the building firm Wates Ltd built a new block and Holland Lane disappeared from the map.
