Queens Park Rangers (QPR) Football Club is set to launch plans to regenerate acres of brownfield land at Old Oak in west London.

The plans include thousands of new homes to be built with easy access to the Crossrail/HS2 interchange.

Over 50,000 newsletters will be delivered to homes and businesses across West London, inviting people to come and see the initial plans and to have their say on what should be considered before developing them further.

Last year the Mayor of London, in partnership with the local boroughs, published a vision document describing how the area could be transformed with new transport connections, businesses and jobs, homes, community facilities, as well as a new stadium. Now QPR has assembled a world class design team to prepare plans so that Old Oak can become home for their new 40,000 seat stadium and kick-start the first phase of this exciting and wider regeneration project.


QPR Chairman, Tony Fernandes, said: "We are looking to deliver much more than just a stadium. We want to create a new destination that we propose to call ‘New Queens Park’. It will serve as a catalyst for regeneration, creating thousands of new jobs and homes for local people.

"It will be a major transport hub that will connect Old Oak to the rest of London and other major cities across the UK. Our new 40,000 seat stadium will become a focal point hosting not just football, but other entertainment and community activities for residents and visitors to enjoy.

"This will give us a top quality stadium that will be able to cater for QPR's needs as the club progresses and grows over the years ahead. We are very excited about being the driving force behind creating one of the best new urban places in the world, and making this our new home."
