Named after Queen Victoria, like the housing estate and the park.
The Queens Park Estate was built between 1875 and 1881 by the Artizans, Labourers & General Dwellings Company and named in her honour. The park nearby was laid out by the City of London in 1886 and opened the next year. The station opened in June 1879, just in time for that year's Royal Agricultural Society show, held on land that became Queen's Park.
