Queen's Grove, St John's Wood is a 1918 oil by Robert Bevan, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting depicts a street scene with a row of trees lining the left side, their branches stretching upwards. A building with a gable roof stands in the background, while a streetlamp and a fence are visible in the foreground. In the bottom-left corner, a horse-drawn carriage is partially visible, with a woman in a long dress walking alongside it. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quietness, with muted colors dominating the palette. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the scene.

Robert Polhill Bevan (5 August 1865 – 8 July 1925) was a British painter, draughtsman and lithographer who was married to the Polish-born artist Stanisława de Karłowska.
