Queen's Gate Living
Queen's Gate Place
Queen’s Gate Place runs from Queen’s Gate Gardens to Queen’s Gate and is a mixture of house styles. The houses are mainly brick and stucco Victorian buildings on 5 storeys with basements, which have been converted into large flats.
Queen’s Gate Place must have been something close to a last salute to the white stucco tradition because they threw everything in – huge cornices at the top, cantilevered balconies with intricate iron work on massive carved brackets all the way up, and fine columned porticoes to welcome the visitor.
There are also the warm brick-faced buildings of similar size with creamy coloured stucco confined to the ground floor the balconies and the stone-effect window surrounds.
There are several equally large buildings in a severer grey brick, with very angular bay windows at ground and first floor levels. These have only a flash of white in the stucco of the portico and on the balcony outside second floor windows topping the bay window structure.
To the east the properties look towards Imperial College and the Natural History Museum.
The street itself is wide enough for cars to be parked outside houses on both sides.
