| 释义 |
Paddington Street Gardens are two small public gardens located either side of Paddington Street in the Marylebone area of London. The larger south garden contains a children's playground. HistoryThe gardens were built in the 18th century as additional burial grounds for the St Marylebone Parish Church. The land on the south side was donated by Edward Harley, 2nd Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer in 1730. The land on the north side was later purchased in 1771. The gardens were converted to a recreational area in 1885 and were officially opened on 6 July 1886 by Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll. The majority of the tombstones were removed, although some can still be seen around the edge of the park. The mausoleum in the south garden also remains. External links
