The
queen’s nose Sales manager Callum Hodgson and lettings manager Tatiana Neves of Marsh & Parsons’ recently opened Queen’s Park office discuss the area’s merits

t might not have the same international kudos as St John’s Wood quite yet, but Queen’s Park is fast giving its more famous neighbours a run for their money. Tucked back behind rows of wellproportioned family homes, its namesake green space is a hidden gem, and on nearby Salusbury Road and Chamberlayne Road, new coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques are fast moving in. “It’s a charming, bustling neighbourhood,” says Callum Hodgson, head of the sales team at Marsh & Parsons’ new Queen’s Park office. “As a result there’s been a natural migration from surrounding areas like North Kensington.” The office might only have been open for a couple of weeks, but the response so far has exceeded expectations. “We feel really welcome,” adds lettings manager Tatiana Neves, who has witnessed first-hand the increasing rise in popularity
of the postcode during her three years at the agency’s North Kensington office. The latest branch is the third in Marsh & Parsons ever-expanding north-west London arm, which also includes an established Little Venice outpost. “We found that our North Kensington office in particular was increasingly dealing with this area,” Callum explains. “People looking to upsize as well as first-time buyers were naturally attracted to what Queen’s Park has to offer, so the time was certainly right to have a greater presence in the area.” As first impressions go, the new Salusbury Road premises has definitely made its mark. Not only is the branch offering zero per cent commission for the first 100 clients who instruct Marsh & Parsons to sell their property, but it celebrated this incentive by handing out ring doughnuts as a tempting reminder.
