Garden City (Kowloon Tong)
History
Garden City (Kowloon Tong) was developed by C. Montague Ede as a low density residential area accommodating English people during colonial era. In recent decades, organisations have established hotels, kindergarten and international schools in this area such as kindergarten at Cumberland Road and York Road. Two renowned international schools are Australian International School and American International School established on Waterloo Road.
Bruce Lee's Former House does not exist anymore. It will be demolished and a new building will be built on that site. The site is situated at 41 Cumberland Road in Kowloon Tong where many kindergartens are established!
