You mention that "after the 1879 show had finished, a 30 acre park called Queen's Park was created when the Church Commissioners donated land to the Corporation of London." So, was it named to commemorate Queen Victoria's visit to the park, and is it still maintained by the City of London as one of their open spaces?
Every source I've read says that the park was named directly for Queen Victoria but I've come to my own conclusions. I'm nearly definite that the nearby Queen's Park Estate had the name from the very beginning in the early 1870s.
Interesting article. Many thanks.
