I have a special liking for Connaught Place in New Delhi .
It is a very lively place :
"
Connaught Place (officially Rajeev Chowk) is one of the largest commercial areas in Delhi, India. Located in the heart of New Delhi, it is often abbreviated as CP and houses the headquarters of several Indian firms.
Urban structure
Robert Tor Russell, chief architect to the Government of India designed Connaught Place in 1932 based upon an outline by W.H. Nichollas (the committee's architect from 1913-1917). The area is instantly recognizable on any map of Delhi, being the big circle in the middle with radial roads spreading out in all directions, like spokes on a wheel. Eight separate roads lead out from Connaught's inner circle, named Parliament Street and Radial Roads 1 through 7. Twelve different roads lead out from Connaught Circus, the outer ring; the most well-known of these is Janpath, the continuation of Radial Road 1.
Connaught Place's obvious Victorian architecture is modeled after the Royal Crescent in Bath, England.
Connaught Place is closed on Sundays.
