Queensborough Mews is a discreet and characterful mews in Bayswater, approached via Queensborough Passage from Queensborough Place. The street has an unusual layout, with a small development of eight modern-style houses and Joanne House, a compact block of flats, on one side, while the opposite side is accessed through substantial gates and provides rear access to the properties of Fulton Mews. The history of Queensborough Mews is particularly notable, as a high-explosive bomb fell directly onto the mews during the Second World War, resulting in the original properties being destroyed and subsequently rebuilt. The mews originally formed part of the service infrastructure for the grand residential properties and substantial townhouses along Porchester Terrace, with its former stable and service buildings supporting the larger homes. Today, Queensborough Mews provides a distinctive residential setting within one of central London’s most well-connected neighbourhoods.

The location of Queensborough Mews is a major advantage, with Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park just a few hundred yards away, including the picturesque Italian Gardens. Residents are also close to the extensive amenities of Queensway, including the prestigious Whiteleys development, as well as the shops, restaurants and services of Bayswater and Paddington. Transport connections are exceptional, with Queensway Underground Station providing Central line services, while Bayswater offers Circle and District line connections. Lancaster Gate is also nearby, and Paddington provides access to the Elizabeth, Circle, District, Bakerloo and Hammersmith & City lines, alongside National Rail and Heathrow Express services. Local bus routes include the 94 and 390, offering convenient journeys towards Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus, while motorists have straightforward access to the wider motorway network via the A40. With its fascinating wartime history, varied architecture and proximity to Hyde Park, Queensborough Mews offers an unusual and well-connected address in Bayswater.
