About Beaconsfield Village:

A hotspot for cultural and creativity, Beaconsfield Village is an oasis of style and intimacy in the midst of the city. The neighbourhood borders the gorgeous and vast green space of Trinity Bellwoods Park and encompasses much of the West Queen West Art and Design District.

Fast becoming a highly sought after destination for young professionals, growing families, and artists who have followed the migration of galleries along Queen, the area also retains the flavour and vibrancy conferred by the heavy Portuguese, Italian and, Brazilian influences that colour the neighbourhood’s businesses, cuisine and entertainment.

History of Beaconsfield Village:

  • Beaconsfield Village dates back to the 1800s when the area was owned by the Denison family.
  • Beaconsfield Avenue, named after former British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, who was given the title of Lord Beaconsfield by Queen Victoria is the signature street in the neighbourhood.
  • Beaconsfield Avenue has been designated by the Toronto Historical Board due to the numerous Victorian houses dating from the 1880s and 1890s that dominate the neighbourhood.
  • By the 1920s, many of the arriving Italian immigrants were buying up the single-family Edwardian houses built along the side streets in the area.
  • Beginning in the 1950s, the area became home to a large influx of immigrants from Portugal, with many of those arrivals settling in corner known as Beaconsfield Village.
  • The park was the original site of Trinity College, one of the colleges that now make up the University of Toronto. The only remaining traces of the school now are the stone and iron gates at the Queen Street entrance to the park.
