Horniman Circle

  Horniman Circle, nestled in the bustling Fort district of Mumbai, is a historical garden square adorned with colonial-era architecture. Established in 1865, this public space is named after the British tea planter, James Horniman, who played a significant role in promoting education in the city. The main feature here is its circular park surrounded by a mix of impressive buildings, including the former Bombay Stock Exchange and the Asiatic Society Library. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the well-maintained lawns or unwind on the benches, particularly pleasant during the cooler evenings of November through February. While there, don’t miss the iconic banyan trees and vibrant local events that often take place in this hub of community activity.
