Following our incredible success in Kensal Rise and in order to meet growing demand in the sales and lettings markets, we are delighted to announce the opening of our new office in Queen’s Park, which will enable us to better serve local clients and customers within this highly desirable neighbourhood.
Situated in the north west of London and close to the iconic Notting Hill, the area takes its name from the 30 acres of grand green space at its centre. Adjacent to Kensal Rise, it offers a village-like atmosphere within easy reach of central London. Gareth Parry, Lettings Director at Dexters Queen’s Park, highlights its appeal, commenting, “This is a leafy, family-oriented area popular with professionals, particularly those with young families, who value its outstanding schools, excellent connectivity and community feel.”
The roads surrounding the park itself are renowned for their magnificent period properties. Red-brick Edwardian residences sit alongside Victorian villas, often with beautiful landscaped gardens behind them. Among the most sought after addresses is Kingswood Avenue, a tree-lined street with luxury double-fronted houses, offering a peaceful environment just moments from local amenities. Chevening Road is also popular as its homes benefit from views of the park.
Transport connections to the rest of the capital are incredibly quick and easy. Located in Zone 2, the Underground station is served by the Bakerloo line, allowing locals to reach Paddington in just seven minutes. The Mildmay Overground line reaches Stratford, Richmond and Clapham Junction, while nearby Kilburn station provides Jubilee line services. Buses travel throughout the neighbourhood to other parts of north west London, such as Willesden, as well as to other destinations in the capital such as White City and Vauxhall.

Effortlessly blending convenience with character, Queen’s Park offers residents the chance to spend weekends exploring its many independent shops. Salusbury Road sits at the heart of the area, with a wide range of boutiques and eateries to suit all tastes. Award-winning bakery Don’t Tell Dad is a local favourite for its buttery madeleines and delectable cinnamon buns. If you prefer something more filling, rustic bistro Bob’s Café serves up delicious brunch dishes. The Sunday Farmers’ Market on Lonsdale Road is a treasure trove of fresh produce, selling seasonal fruits and vegetables, homemade chutneys and organic juices.
Families are drawn to Queen’s Park for its fantastic schools, such as St Luke’s CofE Primary and Kingsgate Primary, both Ofsted rated Outstanding, as are Paddington Academy and St George’s Catholic School for secondary school pupils. The park has also been thoughtfully designed for young children, with a playground, sandpit and even a farm.
The property market continues to thrive, with a growing number of buyers and tenants recognising the benefits of living here. Aarati Bhatta, Lettings Manager at Dexters Queen’s Park, explains, “We recently let a four bedroom house on Kempe Road off-market, after receiving two offers within 24 hours. We proactively create 17 out of 20 of our viewing appointments ourselves, with only the other 3 coming from online portals. This means we can move quickly to match high-quality applicants with suitable properties and achieve the best results for our clients.”
The demand for homes in this part of London continues to climb, and our local experts are perfectly placed to help clients make the most of the market. If you're thinking of selling or letting or would like some market advice, contact your local office today.
