History

The Gardens were first laid out in the early 1950's and the original name was Warwick Avenue Gardens. There were three large houses on the site (similar in size to those on the opposite side of Warwick Avenue. In 1975 the name was changed when the City of Westminster was linked with the City of Amsterdam in Holland. The Dutch presented tulips to the City Council and an opening ceremony was held with the Dutch in full national dress.

Works to bring the garden up to modern standards and make it compliant with the Disability Discrimination act were carried out during 2006. During 2006 the main garden underwent a major upgrade of its infrastructure and horticultural features. The project, funded directly by the City Council and the Paddington Community Fund, cost approximately £400,000 in total.
