Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Everything you need is close by; bars, restaurants, shops. The tube is right opposite the development, so you’re in central London within minutes!

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Difficult getting a parking place. There are only a limited number available

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

This isn’t applicable to me as I haven’t had any issues

Inside, there is a grand contemporary-designed entrance hall with a concierge desk to take care of deliveries and tenant queries. There is a convenient seating area with a library atmosphere. There is an outside garden connecting the main building to the two other smaller blocks for the convenience of tenants.

The property is very well managed by James Andrew, professional property managers. The concierge service is a particular advantage and again, is well managed with several of the personnel having been there since the building opened.

Having bought off-plan about 2016 I have been very happy with our apartment, The building is well-designed and exceptionally well-managed. The concierge service is excellent and always willing and friendly. With Queens Park tube literally across the street (15 mins. to Baker St.), transport links are excellent.

The local High St. has a village atmosphere with quaint cafeterias, restaurants and pubs. Queens Park is a short distance and provided nice outdoor facilities. The building has good parking but street parking is limited. Queens Park Place was affected by the cladding problems to a small extent.

Although this has “slowed” sales things should be completely cleared up in 2024 and a faster pace of sales resumed. James Andrew, the managing agent, has managed this issue skilfully and diplomatically. While the development partially overlooks the main railway lines, as the building is sealed this is hardly an issue.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

If I’d known about the cladding issue but that’s with the benefit of hindsight.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

I have had very few but they have always responded quickly and efficiently. Concierge being on hand on a daily basis is a great help in this area.

Directly across the road from the tube makes getting around London very convenient, as well as the awesome overground that takes you into Euston. Queen’s Park itself is filled with a wonderful mix of independent stores, and some necessary chains. There’s a library, which I frequent often, and the park itself is great for a walk, run or just to hang out in. The M&S at the bottom of the building is both my saviour and my downfall.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

– You have to let all guests into your building by meeting them on the ground floor. Perfectly alright when you’re used to it, but something to note which is different from other developments.
– the hallways don’t have any ventilation and are quite stuffy in Summer (I’m assuming this will mean it’s cozy in Winter)

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Great range of local businesses, shops restaurants and bars, lovely park on the doorstep and a vibrant community. As with everywhere in London there are pros and cons with living in a diverse area but it’s what makes it so great!

Nothing major to report. Just be aware of timeliness that can shift.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Yes they have in full all snagging rectified. No complaints
