More about this scene
The Commonwealth Institute, with its forest of flag poles each flying the flag of a Commonwealth nation, occupies what was most of the southern end of Holland Park. Behind Silvia Crowe's landscape of paved terraces, trees and a pool is the exhibition hall and offices designed by Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall and Partners and completed in 1962. A good modern building, it is a splendid venue for exuberant displays by dance groups and musicians from Commonwealth countries large and small.
