SOUTH PARADE - A VICTORIAN WALK

A Victorian trail around Cubbon Park and MG Road

Bangalore’s history is a tale of two cities—the Indian City or Pete and the European Cantonment with Cubbon Park serving as a bridge between the two. Walk back into 20th century Bangalore along the trees at Cubbon Park.

Meade's Park, Sri Chamarajendra Park, more popularly known as Cubbon Park, is more than a park. Alongside the great many species of plants and birds that call it their home, Cubbon Park also includes several of Bangalore's important buildings: Attara Kacheri—Karnataka High Court, museums, the Central Library, and an Aquarium, among other things.

Stroll through this green lung space and enter the South Parade, the heart of the English city where families lived in huge compounds and the soldiers paraded down the street with all pomp and show. Ine South Parade area was a small English town sitting prettily in the heart of South India.

Join us on a journey into a Victorian era where gentlemen wore top hats and the ladies (memsahibs) held parasols; of a time when people commuted on horseback and danced in the ballrooms of Parade road.
