Queen's Gate

The street is mostly in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, but part of the east side is in the City of Westminster.

The street was built on land purchased by the Royal Commissioners for the Great Exhibition under an agreement dated August 1855 with Henry Browne Alexander, whose family owned the land through which the road was to pass, and William Jackson, a building speculator.

[1] Queen's Gate is also a three-councillor ward of Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea with a population of 9,847 (2011 Census).

[3] From north to south, places of interest visible on the east side of Queen's Gate include the Royal Albert Hall,[4] the Huxley Building of Imperial College London,[5] the Dana Library and Research Centre[6] and the Natural History Museum.

[7] Kensington Park School is just south of the Queen's Gate Gardens, opposite the museum.
