Connaught Place Abundant with activities related to tourism, Connaught Place is an absolute essential for any tourist entering India with Delhi as a transit point. The colonial buildings which have withstood the tyranny of times stand in magnificent glory, while shopping bazaars, restaurants, Banks, and airline offices attract millions everyday. Stone’s throw from New Delhi Railway Station the whole complex is circular maze of traffic movement and was named after Duke of Connaught, a member of the British royal family. It was designed by Robert Tor Russell in collaboration with WH Nicholls. The enormity of this market once made it the largest of its kind in India. Built in 1931, this shopping center is one of the Meccas of shopping in India. Literally everything is up for grabs here. Several eating joints, restaurants, bars and specialty restaurants, have almost all the world food available within a Kilometer of radius. Referred to as CP in its abbreviated form, it is the most important meeting point in Delhi. Accessible and in the heart of Delhi, this every one converges from all parts of the town for one reason or another. No tourist can afford to miss this destination, even if it was for its architecture or the daily buzz. The British fancied this market in the shape of a horseshoe and believed it would prove lucky for both shoppers and shopkeepers.
