Queensway could be about to knock Notting Hill off its perch

TV stars and Pomeranians in Louis Vuitton prams. Queensway is experiencing one right now, bolstered by an anchor-brand hotel at one end — Britain’s first Six Senses luxury wellness hotel — and an anchor-brand restaurant — The Park — at the other, and it heralds a rejuvenation of an area that has often been thought of — unfairly, I think — as a slightly poor relation of Notting Hill.

Our business editor Jonathan Prynn has been monitoring the gentrification of Queensway for more than a decade, but this summer it is actually starting to seriously take shape. The Park is Jeremy King’s second big launch of the year — following his Le Caprice reboot, Arlington, and where the corner table is still fought over by media bigwigs — and it has already become a destination eatery for local residents as well as their highfalutin’ neighbours on the south side of Hyde Park.
