The avenue was built between 1879 and 1886 in the image of the boulevards of Paris. Its creation was a milestone in the city's expansion to the north and quickly became a reference for the wealthier classes to locate their homes there.

Today, this avenue still contains very interesting buildings from an artistic and architectural point of view, especially from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Eduardo VII Park of England, formerly Parque da Liberdade, is the largest park in the center of Lisbon.
