London Bayswater

Bayswater and Queensway tube stations - a favourite haunt for students. A number of good chinese restaurants there, including Four Seasons for the famous roast duck and the Mandarin kitchen for the lobster noodles.

On a recent trip, I spent a bit of time walking along this street, re-living the student days. Had the duck rice at Four seasons, and had the lobster noodle on another evening.

The place looks pretty much the same compared to 15 years ago. Maybe there are redevelopment plans on the way. This is zone 1 London after all.

Here are the links to my blog posts.

Ahh the Four Seasons! That takes me back. I used to live on Queensway (Arthur Court) back when I first lived in London eight years ago.

That Sainsbury's wasn't there when I lived there.

Indeed. Don't you find that the street hasn't changed much? I was there about 15 years ago.

Westbourne Grove, half a mile west, has changed beyond recognition. The redevelopment plans are very exciting.

I go to London once or twice a year but I'd say it's been a good 4 years since I was on Queensway. I'll have to check it out next time I'm there, if only for the Four Seasons duck.

Not another Westfield I hope!

I read somewhere that some rich person has been buying up many properties along Bayswater, like for some mega redevelopment plan.
