Also referred to as the Art and Design District, it’s no wonder that West Queen West has been dubbed Toronto’s “gallery central.” Home to more than 25 independent galleries, as well as the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, West Queen West is the artistic heart of the city. The area is also well-known as one of Toronto’s most- visited shopping districts, and a booming source of nightlife, anchored by the Gladstone Hotel and Drake Hotel.
Throughout its history, Queen Street has had many names. For the first sixty years, several areas of the street were called “Lot Street,” as 40 hectare lots were assigned to inhabitants along the length of this, the first east-west road laid in the new city of York. In honour of Queen Victoria, Lot Street was renamed Queen Street in 1837. Many of the neighbourhoods that developed around the Queen Street area were ethnically-based neighbourhoods. For example, Queen Street and Bathurst Street became populated by Irish immigrants and was thus called “Claretown.” Many Portuguese immigrants also settled in the West Queen West area, and pockets of Toronto’s Little Portugal neighbourhood continue to extend into the West Queen West district, though the Portuguese, Brazilian, and Italian communities are typically found closer to the Dundas and College areas.
Art galleries, design houses, boutique hotels, and hip restaurants line Queen Street in West Queen West. Shopping finds include modern and antique furniture, vintage clothing, and textiles. Several independent fashion designers base their sales out of storefronts in this area. The Gladstone Hotel and the Drake Hotel command the nightlife in the area; both boutique hotels feature restaurants and nightly entertainment, but the Gladstone is particularly arts-oriented in its room- design and reputation as home to a variety of art festivals and presentations. Over 50 restaurants in the West Queen West area feature food from around the world, making this neighbourhood a shopping, arts, and dining destination.
West Queen West’s popular Trinity Bellwoods Park provides the area with a major green space in the heart of a bustling retail area, and is always filled with young professionals on lunch breaks, dog walkers with pup in tow, and shoppers heading to the park’s weekly Farmers’ Market. Tree-lined side streets are filled with a mix of Victorian, Edwardian and row houses, several of which have been divided up to create multi-family dwellings. In fact, according to the Toronto Census of 2006, West Queen West has a much higher percentage of multi-family dwellings as compared to the City’s average. Local schools include Charles G Fraser Junior Public School,Givins/Shaw Junior Public School, Alexander Muir/ Gladstone Ave Junior and Senior Public School, as well as Ryerson Community School.
