British Garden at Hanover Square

The British Garden at Hanover Square is located in Hanover Square in downtown Manhattan. It commemorates the 67 British victims of the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. It was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on July 6, 2010.[1]

Originally planned as The British Memorial Garden, it was officially named The British Garden at Hanover Square by Prince Henry of Wales on May 29, 2009.[2]

It will soon be renamed to Queen Elizabeth II Garden, to include victims of other Commonwealth countries who died in the September 11, 2001 attacks.[3] [4]
