It is between Notting Hill Gate to the west and Lancaster Gate to the east, and is in Travelcard Zone 1.

History of Queensway tube station:
It opened on 30 July 1900, as Queen's Road, and was renamed on 9 September 1946. The building is an unusual survivor of the buildings designed for the Central London Railway by Harry Bell Measures, with a flat roof so that commercial development could take place above - in this case, a hotel.
