Amsterdam 700th Anniversary

Erection date: 2/5/1975

Inscription

These gardens were renamed Rembrandt Gardens on 2 May 1975 to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the founding of the city of Amsterdam and to mark the creation of a special relationship with the City of Westminster.

Site: Rembrandt Gardens (1 memorial)

The map gives a clue as to what that 'special relationship' is all about.
