Holland Park is an area of Kensington, on the western edge of Central London, that lies within the Royal Borough of Chelsea and Kensington, and largely surrounds its namesake park, Holland Park. It has no official boundaries but is roughly bounded by Kensington High Street to the south, Holland Road to the west, Holland Park Avenue to the north, and Kensington Church Street to the east. In reality, the Holland Park district extends north of Holland Park Avenue, toward Notting Hill. It has been said that Holland Park is the “posh” part of Notting Hill. The three principal neighbourhoods of Holland Park are centred around the Park itself, with stately houses and townhomes to the north, south and west of the Park. Adjacent districts are Notting Hill to the north, Earl's Court to the south, and Shepherd's Bush to the west.
Eaton Square is a rectangular, residential garden square in London's Belgravia district. It is the largest square in London. It is one of the three squares built by the landowning Grosvenor family when they developed the main part of Belgravia in the 19th century that are named after places in Cheshire — in this case Eaton Hall, the Grosvenor country house. It is larger but less grand than the central feature of the district, Belgrave Square, and both larger and grander than Chester Square. The first block was laid out by Thomas Cubitt from 1827. In 2016 it was named as the "Most Expensive Place to Buy Property in Britain", with a full terraced house costing on average £17 million — many of such town houses have been converted, within the same, protected structures, into upmarket apartments.

The house was largely destroyed by German firebombing during the Blitz in 1940 and today only the east wing and some ruins of the ground floor and south facade remain, along with various outbuildings and formal gardens.
