Queen’s Park Property Guide

Queen’s Park is one of North West London’s most exciting transformations. Once a quiet residential spot known mainly for its family-friendly feel, the area has become a magnet for stylish young families, creatives and professionals looking for an alternative to Ladbroke Grove or Westbourne Park.

Today, Queen’s Park blends Victorian charm with modern edge - where cobbled streets, artisan shops and stylish eateries sit comfortably alongside playgrounds, tree-lined avenues and community events.

What Makes Queen’s Park Special?

Queen’s Park is the perfect hybrid of cool and calm. You’ll find:

• A real sense of community and independence, anchored by Queen’s Park itself
• Vibrant cafés, restaurants, wellness studios, and creative hubs, especially around Salusbury and Lonsdale Roads
• A reputation as a stylish but settled neighbourhood, now popular with professionals from the media, tech, and design worlds

The result is a rare balance: an area that’s hip without the hype and family-friendly without feeling suburban.

Is It Easy to Get Around?

Very. Queen’s Park is incredibly well connected, whether you’re commuting or heading into town for dinner:

• Queen’s Park Station (Bakerloo Line and Overground) – Just 20 minutes to Oxford Circus
• Buses to Notting Hill, Marylebone, and beyond in under 25 minutes
• Short walks to Kensal Rise, Brondesbury Park, and Kilburn Overground stations
• Easy access to central London and Westfield White City, while still retaining a village feel

Culture & Heritage

Queen’s Park was developed in the late 19th century and named for Queen Victoria, who was still reigning at the time. Like many great Victorian neighbourhoods, its park is the jewel:

• Queen’s Park – 30 acres of beautifully maintained green space with tennis courts, a café, children’s zoo, and sports facilities
• The area is largely protected as a conservation zone, with many original Victorian and Edwardian properties intact
• Culture thrives with the Lexi Cinema, Queen’s Park Book Festival, and a Sunday farmers’ market that’s a local staple

What Are the Schools Like?

Queen’s Park offers a variety of excellent education choices:

• Islamia Primary School – Founded by Cat Stevens and rated ‘Outstanding’
• Wilberforce Primary, Ark Franklin, and Queen’s Park Community School – All rated ‘Good’
• Manor School – A specialist school with an ‘Outstanding’ rating
• A number of independent schools also serve the area, including Maple Walk, Chepstow House, and The American School in London, not far away

It’s a solid choice for families who want strong education options without leaving London.

Who Else Is Here?

You might spot a few familiar faces at the local deli or yoga class. Queen’s Park has attracted a host of celebrities and creatives over the years, including Daniel Craig, Lily Allen, Sienna Miller, and Thandie Newton. But the vibe remains laid-back and community-driven.

Why It’s Special for Dutch & Dutch

We love Queen’s Park because it captures what’s best about London living: heritage homes, great food, creative energy, and green space.

We’ve worked on many of the area's key commercial and residential lettings — including the entire parade on Lonsdale Road, a unique cobbled street that’s now home to artisan cafés, a tap room, an interior design school, and even a guitar academy.

We recently secured a letting right here in Queen’s Park. This is a place with real stories and exciting potential, and we’re proud to play our part.
