Queen’s Park, an urban village in north west London, is one of the capital’s better kept secrets. Looking at its amenities and ambience, it’s no surprise local residents like to keep the place to themselves.

Just seven minutes to Paddington and 15 minutes to Oxford Circus by direct Underground line, the area has a bustling high street and an historic 30-acre park named in honour of Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.

The vibrant community spirit is evident in the eclectic shops, park, gastropubs, restaurants and especially in the weekly farmers’ market, voted the best in the UK.

Excellent transport links, bringing key destinations within a 30-minute journey, are a major factor in the popularity of Queen’s Park as a place to live.

Just a minute’s walk from the Underground and Overground station, Queen’s Park Place is a collection of 116 contemporary apartments and penthouses designed for metropolitan living in a Manhattan style.
