Telford Garden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Telford Garden (德福花園) is a private housing estate located beside Kowloon Bay Station of the MTR, in Ngau Tau Kok, New Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was the very first property project developed by MTR and the residential buildings were completed in around 1980 - 1981. There are a total of 21 (Block A - U) residential blocks containing about 4,992 flats. Most of the flats at Block R, S and T are owned by the Hong Kong Government.

The whole estate is above the Kowloon Bay Depot of the MTR, which is among the largest among all depots of the MTR.

Telford Plaza I (德福廣場), which had undergone substantial renovation in recent years, is the largest shopping centre in Ngau Tau Kok area. Telford Plaza II was a quite recent addition to Telford Plaza I and their exits face each other. Telford Plaza I has 2 levels while Telford Plaza II has 4.

Block P of Telford Garden is situated right above Telford Plaza I and there are stairs leading up to the upper levels where the apartments are for convenient access to the shops.

The MTR Tower at the far end of Telford Plaza II is the headquarters of MTR Corporation. There used to be a police station next to the pickup/drop off area but has since been moved. The minibus stop and taxi stands are right beneath Level 3 of Telford Plaza II and there are four carparks in Telford Garden, 2 for shoppers and 2 for residents.
