Elphinstone Road

Mumbai, the most happening city of India, not only acquires the title of the Financial Capital but also as the city which is famous for its tourist attractions. Elphinstone Road, a famous place in Mumbai, houses a number of those tourists spots. During the British Raj, Mumbai was a major port city for the British East India Company for trade and commerce with Lord John Elphinstone as the governor of Mumbai during the period from 1850-60s.

Lord Elphinstone brought major progress in the city, from developing the beautiful architecture to places of civic importance. The road connecting Dadar and Lower Parel was renamed as Elphinstone Road in honour of the man.

Elphinstone road,  is also known as Parel West is very close to the Elphinstone Railway Station. Which is the other reason. Though small, it occupies an important locality in the Western part of Midtown Mumbai. Elphinstone Railway Station caters best for those who travel only to church gate or Borivali. A footbridge also exists which links central line- Parel to Elphinstone road.
