At the behest of the Church Commissioners, in 1957 Anthony Minoprio drew up a master plan for an upmarket residential development west of Edgware Road and south of Sussex Gardens. The Water Gardens is one element of that master plan - three bold towers of strikingly patterned concrete linked by lower blocks enclosing landscaped gardens and water features. It was built in 1961-66 to the designs of Trehearne, Norman, Preston & Partners.
