History
It was originally built as The Queen's Hotel by the architect and developer John Cathles Hill in 1898–1902,[2] or 1899–1901,[1] with art nouveau stained glass by Cakebread Robey.[2] It was described in Pevsner as "one of suburban London's outstanding grand pubs".[2]
It was accompanied by the Queen's Opera House which was opened in 1897 but damaged by bombing during the Second World War and subsequently demolished. It stood behind Topsfield Parade opposite the hotel.[2]

gollark: You are very fortunate.
gollark: I see.
gollark: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to print.
gollark: As unofficial unwilling tech support person, I've seen things... horrible things.
