On the edge of the seaside city of
Mumbai is its first planned
commercial precinct: Ballard Estate.
It came up in the early 20th century

Ballard Estate stands out for its uniform
Edwardian buildings, and set the
stage for
what would become India's financial capital.
Today, the
neighbourhood houses
art galleries and boutiques.
Use the
arrows to walk and hit
SPACE/JUMP to access the
Local Attractions bench for more
