The urgency of the streets and the buzz of constantly flowing traffic hides from view the beautiful old Bangalore Cantonment’s areas – the ‘Towns’ of Bangalore.
Bengaluru's 'Bangalore' has many towns - Richmond Town, Benson Town, Cox Town, Fraser Town etc.- with an English past.
Admire the architecture of the ancient cathedrals, the 'monkey tops' and the trellises of ol world bungalows, the cuisines, the stories &. the people.
The Towns of Bangalore, beyond the English, were a mix of diverse cultures and communities, bound by businesses and trade.
Largely residential, these have today unified into the modern Bengaluru and have been ‘Indianised’ in some areas & roads. The pretty yesteryear laidback lifestyle and cottages have given way to a busier lifestyle, matched by traffic and little apartment blocks.
However, there’s still many places that seem to have rooted to an era. Walk with us down this memory lane & understand the bygone English character of this part of the city.
