I absolutely love the architecture of the late Victorian and Edwardian properties in the picturesque, village-like area of Queen’s Park, which is one of the most important historic areas in Brent. Characterised by its unified urban layout, it looks even more remarkable by the high level of building preservation thanks to its Conservation Area status.

The park itself is an excellent example of a Victorian urban green space, with the bandstand a Grade II Listed building. Today the park is still a green oasis with tennis courts, a petting zoo, pitch and putt course, and excellent playground with paddling pool.

Popular with creative professionals and celebrities alike, the sense of community seen in many North West London areas continues to delight me here. As a family we love to visit Queen’s Park Day, and annual event with stalls set up in the park to celebrate, followed by a stroll and shop around the award-winning farmers market.

It’s easy to see why families and young professionals alike choose to settle in this coveted North West London area. Named after the 30 acre green space that lies in the heart of NW6, Queen’s Park continues to soar in popularity thanks to its village-like feel with an urban edge.

Take a trip to Salusury Road, the iconic high street that’s peppered with independent shops and restaurants, fitness studios and the UK’s first organic supermarket, Planet Organic. Whilst slightly to the north lies Kilburn High Road, with an array of convenient supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and more.

Sitting snugly in Zone 2, Queen’s Park benefits from easy transport links; the Bakerloo Line as well as the Overground, meaning it’s never more than 15 minutes to get straight into the West End.

As well as the well-kept Victorian terraces and their classic architecture, there are also breath-taking contemporary developments as investors capitalise on continued demand for this North West London suburb.
